4.2 21 and 25 May 1660, Kefallinia
The 1660 earthquake (Fig. 5) is listed by Shebalin et al. (1974), according to
Montandon (1953). Papazachos and Papazachou (1989 and 1997) do not quote this
event, while Papazachos and Papazachou (2003) mention it shortly and do not assess
any parameter. Montandon relies upon Barbiani and Barbiani (1864). As in the case
of the 1658 earthquake, in a footnote to Barbianis' text, Perrey refers to Bonito
(1691). The latter quotes Ricciolio (1669), who turns out to be the only coeval narra-
tive source so far known to account for the 1660 event in Kefallinia. Ricciolio writes
Iterum Cephaleniae Terremotus multas aedes subvertit ” (Once again in Kefallinia
an earthquake caused the collapse of many houses). He does not refer to any specific
