  3. paracelsus arrived

    paracelsus arrived
    before the south gate
    was unlocked

    while he waited
    to ask the watchman
    if the pestilence had come
    to wittenberg before he had

    the east gate
    was opened like an eye

    and the morning’s early sun
    that had risen from where it waited

    its shining entered
    the town like a tide

    Here Comes the Plague
    "The CDC has experienced significant layoffs, including the permanent firing of around 600 employees in August 2025, amid a chaotic restructuring under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr." -BBC
    I doubt they have the leadership to stop this like they did in the 90s before several waves of attrition by our Nazi Party since the year 2000.

  10. The Lombard Invasion

    The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy was a pivotal event in Venetian history.

    The invasion, and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.

    The Lombard invasion, and the subsequent migration of parts of the mainland residents into the lagoons, became a central part of the later Venetian national narrative — the stories they told to explain where they came from and who they were.

  15. “The document – a scrap of parchment inserted into an account of the Ramsey Abbey manor of Warboys in Huntingdonshire – records how much time peasants were absent from work when struck down by the plague. It also reveals the names of those who survived and how long their employers believed recovery could take.“

  18. 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.

    They will tell you it moved quickly, that it devastated populations, that entire households could fall within days.

    They will not tell you how people knew it had already begun.

    Not officially."

    Then the illness had already taken hold." #blackplague #horror #rats #plague #sickness #epidemic #thebutcheredwriterssubstack

  24. The Justinian plague — Paul the Deacon

    This excerpt from book II of the Historia Langobardorum by Paul the Deacon describes the effect of the Justinian plague in Italy.

    Based on archaeological DNA samples, the epidemic has recently been verified as yersinia pestia — bubonic or black plague. As such, it was the first of three pandemics of bubonic plague in known history.

    The plague arrived in Italy in 541, and the first wave lasted a few years, but just as in the Middle Ages, successive waves came and went over at least two centuries.
