520 $aA series of natural disasters in the Orient during the fourteenth century brought about the most devastating period of death and destruction in European history. The epidemic killed one-third of Europe's people over a period of three years, and the resulting social and economic upheaval was on a scale unparalleled in all of recorded history. Synthesizing the records of contemporary chroniclers and the work of later historians, the author here offers an overview of this crucial epoch that brings to light the the full horror of this uniquely catastrophic event that hastened the disintegration of an age.
