Vlna Cholery 1831–1832 v Urbálnom Prostredí Špiša v Percepcii Matričných Záznamov Rímskokatolickej Círvi – Historickodemografická Sonda

A historical demography study reveals significant mortality patterns during the 1831–1832 cholera epidemic in Spiš, Slovakia, with detailed analysis of death rates, age and sex distribution of victims, and population dynamics. The research leverages Roman Catholic church registers, historical schematisms, and statistical data to identify peak epidemic phases and compare cholera-related mortality with other causes of death. Findings highlight the devastating impact of cholera on urban populations in Spiš, including two royal cities (Kežmarok and Levoča) and five smaller towns, providing insights into 19th-century public health crises in Central Europe.
