The Black Death 1347 - 1351

The Culprits

Septicemia Form: almost 100% mortality rate. The Symptoms Bulbous Septicemia Form: almost 100% mortality rate.

The Effects: The patient gets painful swellings in the lymph nodes (beginning in groin and armpits) which ooze blood and pus These turn black, and eventually the body is covered in black spots Die 7-10 days later Accompanied by vomiting, fever, nausea, headache, joint ache

From the Toggenburg Bible, 1411

The Disease Cycle Human is infected! Flea drinks rat blood that carries the bacteria. Bacteria multiply in flea’s gut. Human is infected! Flea bites human and regurgitates blood into human wound. Flea’s gut clogged with bacteria.

Medieval Art & the Plague

Medieval Art & the Plague Bring out your dead!

Medieval Art & the Plague An obsession with death.

Boccaccio in The Decameron The victims ate lunch with their friends and dinner with their ancestors.

Attempts to Stop the Plague “Leeching” A Doctor’s Robe

Remedies Doctors would leech wounds- attempt to empty out all “bad” blood People would carry around posies and flowers in order to ward off the disease Doctors would wear masks with flowers and herbs in them to ward off the plague “Ring around the Rosy, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down”

Attempts to Stop the Plague Flagellanti: Self-inflicted “penance” for our sins!

Attempts to Stop the Plague Pograms against the Jews “Golden Circle” obligatory badge “Jew” hat Jessie is my favorite student

Death Triumphant !: A Major Artistic Theme

A Little Macabre Ditty “A sickly season,” the merchant said, “The town I left was filled with dead, and everywhere these queer red flies crawled upon the corpses’ eyes, eating them away.” “Fair make you sick,” the merchant said, “They crawled upon the wine and bread. Pale priests with oil and books, bulging eyes and crazy looks, dropping like the flies.”

A Little Macabre Ditty (2) “I had to laugh,” the merchant said, “The doctors purged, and dosed, and bled; “And proved through solemn disputation “The cause lay in some constellation. “Then they began to die.” “First they sneezed,” the merchant said, “And then they turned the brightest red, Begged for water, then fell back. With bulging eyes and face turned black, they waited for the flies.”

A Little Macabre Ditty (3) “I came away,” the merchant said, “You can’t do business with the dead. “So I’ve come here to ply my trade. “You’ll find this to be a fine brocade…” And then he sneezed……….!

The Mortality Rate 35% - 70% 25,000,000 dead !!!

What were the political, economic, and social effects of the Black Death??

Society is changing Since the church people (priests, nuns, monks) were burying the dead, they usually got sick and died- there were few church people left People lose faith in the church! Minorities are persecuted/blamed for the disease The good news is that after the threat of the plague was lessened, the peasants began to have a better life (they had more land, and more options due to all the people who had died)
