Book - Book

The discovery among the manuscript collection of the University Library of Ghent University of the transcriptions made by the city archivist of Tournai, Frédéric Hennebert (1800-1857) has allowed the reconstruction of the thirty first pages of the register of urban ordonnances of Tournai concerning the years 1349-1351, the original document having been lost in the course of the bombardment of the city of Tournai in May 1940. The document allows reconstructing the legislative activity by the urban magistrate, confronted by an almost daily crisis provoked by the arrival of the Black Death in the summer of 1349.
