Summary/Abstract: This text examines the 1832 cholera epidemic in Paris through the diaries of Hungarian aristocrat and Parisian attaché Rudolf Apponyi de Nagy-Appony. It focuses on daily life in Paris between March and September 1832. The article first describes Apponyi's family background, then summarizes the cholera epidemic, and finally analyzes three key themes: 1) the evolving narrative of the disease's origin and nature; 2) the understanding of cholera through the prevailing miasmatic theory; and 3) the religious response to the epidemic.
