Abstract:
The dataset aims to illustrate societal vulnerability to climatic conditions on the island of Cyprus between 1174 and 1913. It describes a dataset of events including epidemic and pest outbreaks, natural and social disasters. This dataset is unique for two reasons. Firstly, it is the most complete collection of events based mainly on secondary sources for the island, consisting of international and local historical sources dedicated to illustrating social vulnerability to climate. Secondly, it is a long time series (1174 to 1913) covering different periods of rule on the island. This study presents research material that contribute to better understand climate changes over time and build up a local long times series in a region where archives are scattered and less compiled in comparison with Western Europe.
