1930

David Joseph Herlihy (May 8, 1930 – February 21, 1991) was an American historian who served as the president of the American Historical Association.

He wrote on medieval and renaissance life, and was married to fellow historian Patricia Herlihy.

His study of the Florentine and Pistoiese Catasto of 1427 is one of the first statistical surveys to use computers to analyze large amounts of data.

The resulting book examines statistical patterns in tax-collecting surveys to find indications of social trends.

The University of San Francisco history department named their annual award for the best student-written history paper the David Herlihy Prize, and Brown University has established a David Herlihy University Professorship.

David Joseph Herlihy was born the youngest of four in San Francisco in 1930 to Irishman Maurice Herlihy, of County Kerry, and Irish American Irene O'Connor.

His parents had eloped in Los Gatos in California.

He was a member of the school debating team and met his wife-to-be Patricia McGahey at a match as a sophomore.

At college, he published his first article in the journal of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia; it was about Peter Yorke and the American Protective Association.

He got his bachelor's degree with all As in three years from the University of San Francisco.

He wrote a dissertation on Pisa, for which Yale awarded him a doctoral degree in 1956; Yale University Press published it in 1958, titled Pisa in the Early Renaissance. The Guggenheim sent him to Florence for a year between 1961 and 1962.

His wife was also in Florence that year, with a grant of her own from the Fulbright Association.

The city flooded during their stay.
