Note 112 — Chapter III · THE THIRD VISITATION OF THE DISEASE.—1517.
B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation
On the 16th of June, 1517, there was a great earthquake, and a tremendous storm of wind at Nördlingen, so that the parish church at St. Emeran was completely forced out of the ground and thrown down, and it was reckoned that there were 2000 houses and stables in that place which, for a space of two miles long, were overthrown and rent, and there were few houses there which were not, like the church, damaged and shaken to pieces. Wintzenberger, fol. 21. b.
