Behind the choir will be an extraordinary backdrop: a #RoodScreen made not of wood but of stone, twisting & curving to the sky. It's been dated to the 1350s. So, just after the #BlackDeath... Who would have supported innovation at such a time?

What a list of Black Death survivors reveals about the way people recovered from plague.
Despite the deadliness of the disease, it was possible to recover from plague, and medieval chroniclers mention the possibility – however unlikely – of survival.

An interesting review of experience and resilience during the Black Death.
The Black Death killed approximately 100 million people (about half the world’s population) between 1347 and 1353. Subsequent outbreaks, which occurred every few years until the 18th century, took millions more lives.

Interesting #novelty #coin of the day: This piece has a #Plague doctor on one side - this was a volunteer or an actual doctor, though the duty was often more to record accurate numbers of deaths than curing people (though some charged promising cures). Although often a #caricature, beaked masks like this have been dated to the 1700s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor Wearing a modern medical coat & stethoscope (invented in 1816).
The other side has a #clock at 8:55 (Does anyone know a potential reason for that?) with the dates 1347-1351 in the centre - that was the rough years of the #Black #Death in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death
I can't read the text above the centre?
The piece itself is an Equilateral curve heptagon (7-sided), about 25mm diameter, similar to a 1991-1994 Jamaica 25 cents: https://en.numista.com/6476 & about 3mm thick.
I'll tag #Histodons since the theme is historical, though the piece isn't.

"The story of the Black Death, as historian Thomas Asbridge shows in this magisterial survey, contains many such echoes of the Covid-19 pandemic"
"...the Black Death did not disappear after 1353; it became endemic"
"As for the long-term social consequences of Covid, it is too early to tell"

During the Black Death, Europeans feared plague victims might return from the dead. Archaeologists discovered unusual face-down burials with knives, possibly meant to stop the undead from escaping their graves.

From Rome to the Aztecs, pandemics devastated populations, weakened militaries, collapsed economies, and accelerated imperial decline. Disease repeatedly reshaped global power structures throughout history.

✧ Ibn Khaldun ✧
Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) was an Arab scholar, historian, philosopher, and sociologist. Born in Tunis into an upper-class Andalusian family of Arab descent, his family's high rank enabled him to study with prominent teachers in Maghreb, where he received a classical Islamic education including the Quran, as well as mathematics, logic, and philosophy...

🌋🔗🦠 Breaking news: Volcanic tantrums in the 14th century apparently made rats adventurous, setting off a deadly European tour of the Black Death. 🤯 Who knew Mother Nature was the original event planner for pandemics? 🎉🌍

@anlomedad The #Blackdeath was apparently caused by a volcanic eruption somewhere in the tropics with fallout across a large part of the Northern hemisphere and colder weather causing famine in Europe. Import of grain from the Black Sea brought in the infection. Not sure if that volcanic eruption caused the Ca+ peak. It would have to have been a Calc-Alkaline (Oceanic?) eruption. https://www.alexstrekeisen.it/english/vulc/index.php#:~:text=Alkaline%20Series,be%20seen%20in%20the%20matrix.
2nd peak could well be caused as you say.

Curious story about a research paper suggesting historians have been misled for centuries about how the Black Death spread after a fictional work worked its way into the historical record.
