Most thought it was a divine punishment from God, similar to that one great big flood from The Bible.

From a physiological standpoint, however, they thought it derived from either bad air or an imbalance of the humors.

Some believed it was a punishment from God, some believed that foreigners or those who followed a different religion had poisoned the wells, and some thought that bad air was responsible; some thought the position of the planets had caused the plague. All these different beliefs led to some strange attempts at escaping the plague and some even stranger cures.
