Note : Emmanouil Limenitis was a poet who lived in the 15 century on the island of Rhodes. Three poems are attributed to him. The title of my dissertation is the translation and analysis of his last poem titled “The Plague of Rhodes”. The work was written in 1500 and is one of the most important works written on Rhodes before the Ottomans captured the island. As can be seen from the name of the poem, the author gave information about the plague epidemic that struck for two years the island of Rhodes. This epidemic took place in 1498-1500 and caused death to the inhabitants of the island even from the family of the poet. Undoubtedly this tragic event became the reason for writing this poem but the thing that makes the work so remarkable is the information the poet gave us about the history and the traditional life of the island. The work includes topics such as the life of the Greeks under the domination of the Catholic Knights Hospitaller, the poet’s view of the Latins and the Turks, the religious and social life of the Christian inhabitants of the island in the Middle Ages, the influence of plague on literature and the art in the Middle Ages and properties of the medieval Greek language. The information contained in the work illuminates the 15 century Dodecanese culture. Traduction turque aux p. 75-98.

Note : The study is a presentation of the sole written testimony of the great plague epidemic that struck the island of Rhodes in 1498, at the time when the Order of the Knights of St. John was settled there. The Greek poem “The Thanatikon (i.e., plague) of Rhodes”, which was written by Emmanuel Georgillas Limenitis in the late 15th century and recounts the terrible events of the epidemic, was used as a source of information. Among the 644 verses of the poem, elements like the place, time, duration and how the epidemic spread can be identified. Within the historical context of the era, evaluation and analysis of the data reveal the correlation between human activities and the physical history of the disease in the Mediterranean during the 15th century. The Plague of Rhodes confirms the value of non-medical sources in the medico-historical and historico-epidemiological study of the evolution of the disease caused by Yersinia pestis while highlighting an enduring intrinsic weakness of surveillance systems. Despite modern means of epidemiological surveillance, the risk of relaxation of a health system after a long period of absence of an infectious disease constitutes a major factor for future resurgence of the specific disease.
