(p. 274) it is said that vast pits were dug in the public cemetery, where the dead were buried "ut pecora gregatim." [59] The writer was sending his letter on April 27th, 1348, so that the period would have been about six weeks.

[72] All copies of this chronicle give "_quingente_," and it has usually been stated that the number so buried each day was 500. M. Géraud, who edited the work for the Société de l'Histoire de France, suggests that it is a mistake for 50, and quotes two MSS., in which in the margin the following note is found: "L corps par jour a l'Hostel-Dieu de Paris." As this reading is more probable it has been adopted above. [73] _Continuatio Chronici Guillelmi di Nangiaco, éd._ pour la Société de l'Histoire de France par H. Géraud, ii, pp. 211-217.
