the call attacked by the crowd during the epidemic

Le call de Barcelone, le plus grand de Catalogne, fut attaqué par la foule pendant l'épidémie. Les conseillers de la ville firent fermer les portes et défendre le quartier, ce qui limita le désastre.

Barcelone abritait alors une communauté de plusieurs milliers d'âmes, avec ses écoles, ses synagogues et ses médecins. Elle passa l'épreuve de la peste ; elle fut détruite quarante-trois ans plus tard, et cette fois définitivement : la ville n'eut plus de communauté juive avant l'époque contemporaine.
