#medievalhistory — Public Fediverse posts

I’m pleased to celebrate the publication of a long-loved project (ahem) on “Bregenz Chaplains, 1387–1587,” Florilegium 39, https://doi.org/10.3138/flor-2022-0011

I want to publicly thank Jimmy Maiello, who first believed in my chaplain project, nutty though the extended prosopographical appendix might seem at first glance, and David Watt, who picked up the editing and handled it with a few swift and improving passes. I also want to thank monasterium.net which made this work possible during Covid disruptions.

The article is available through institutional subscriptions – or I’m happy to share a copy upon request.

Yay!

The Black Death killed half of Europe. But it did not kill randomly. The pattern of who died, where, and when has been in the historical record the whole time. Nobody taught you this part. #BlackDeath #Plague #MedievalHistory #HistoryMyths #ForgottenHistory
