| Abstract (English): |
This paper focuses on the pandemic called Black Death (or Black Plague) occurring in the middle of the 14th century in the world till then known, outlines causes, spread and effects, mentions the role of physicians during it, addresses its consequences, and conducts a tour that includes twelve films and a recent miniseries where that plague is treated as axis or background. Given its controversial etiology, this communication, according to recent reports, agrees with the determinant role of Yersinia pestis in the abovementioned pandemic leaving, simultaneously and in this regard, an open mind towards the future due to the provisional and dynamic nature of science, about which the current pandemic is notorious evidence.

Este trabajo se centra en la pandemia denominada Peste Negra ocurrida a mediados del siglo XIV en el mundo entonces conocido, reseña causas, propagación y efectos, menciona el rol de los médicos durante la misma, aborda sus consecuencias, y realiza un recorrido que incluye doce filmes y una reciente miniserie donde se la trata como eje o trasfondo. Ante su etiología controvertida, esta comunicación, siguiendo estudios recientes, concuerda con el rol determinante de la Yersinia pestis en dicha pandemia, aunque deja, a la par y a ese respecto, mente abierta hacia el futuro dado lo provisorio y dinámico de la ciencia, acerca de lo cual la actual pandemia es palmaria prueba.
