1 The Black Plague

2 The Plague: Primary Source Quotes Taken from Jackdaw’s The Black Death Packet     “So great was the want of laborers that a third part and more of the land throughout the entire kingdom went uncultivated [unfarmed].”   - A chronicler in England (The Economic Effect, Broadsheet VI)    “…with constant fever, there were external carbuncles, or buboes [swollen, red, puss-filled lump beneath the skin], under the arm or in the groin and the disease ran its course in five days. The contagion was so great, especially when there was blood-spitting, that even by looking at the sick, people seemed to take it.”   - Guy de Chauliac, physician to Pope Clement VI (Diagnosis, Broadsheet II)   By April, 1348, “more than half the people at Avignon [French village] are already dead and within the walls of the city there are more than 7,000 houses shut up. In three months…62,000 bodies have been buried in Avignon.”   - Anonymous writer (Rules and Regulations Broadsheet III)
