Abstract:
Historical death registration was conducted primarily to assess the presence of plague.
The Liber Mortuorum of Milan was one of Europe’s first registers with many socio-demographical
details. In this work, we consider 1480 to make spatial and temporal analyses of the event of death
to find possible explanations about the events’ distribution and the events’ trend over time. The
spatial analyses involved Moran’s I, the LISA, and the heatmaps; the temporal analysis applied the
Durbin-Watson test. All the analyses were conducted separately on all subjects (1813), children (765),
and adults (1046). Contrade (districts) were considered for spatial analysis. Moran’s I and the Durbin
Watson test were significant on all subjects and children’s analyses, and the LISA showed the same
results for those groups. Children may significantly impact the distribution of death and the trend
over time. At least half of the children were 0 years old, and survival in the very first childhood
period was closely linked to the family, so that it could be a proxy of the conditions of an area.
