Sažetak
Between 1348 and 1772 the plague struck the Bay of Kotor on several occasions with varying intensity. This paper provides a systematic analysis of plague epidemics in the Bay of Kotor area, linking existing data on plague epidemics in the Bay of Kotor with data on epidemics in Dubrovnik and the hinterland, sources of infection, population movements in the times of crisis, demographic data and data on healthcare institutions. It is pointed out that the data often refer to and complement each other, which can be used to reconstruct the extent of the spread of the plague epidemics. The paper also analyzes the various ways in which the disease has had an effect on the social life in the Bay of Kotor. This includes both those historical and/or temporary effects, such as the creation and instrumentalization of quarantine logistics, as well as those that have managed to persist until the present day, such as the formation of the cult of Our Lady of Health and the creation of folk etymology related to the name of the settlement of Morinj.
