Diocese of Barcelona during the Black Death, The Register 'Notule Communium' 15 (1348-1349).
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1994 Hardcover. 536 p., 165 x 245 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9780888443717.
In the spring of 1348, the Black Death arrived in the diocese of Barcelona. The immediate effects were extraordinary mortality and fear. Over the long term, rural life was marked by conflict as peasants and lords reacted to an economy where death had made labour scarce and expensive. Urban society also suffered from plague mortality, but it is a matter of controversy how such demographic changes contributed to the eventual decline of Barcelona in the fifteenth century. The documents of the diocesan register Notule communium 15 (1348-1349) reveal the church's immediate reactions to the plague and provide evidence for patronage and ecclesiastical administration that will be useful to social and economic historians in assessing the immediate and long-term consequences of the Black Death, especially since contrastng material from before 1348 is available in the register Notule communium 14 (1345-1348) calendared by Jocelyn N. Hillgarth and Giulio Silano in the present series. The Black Death is an overwhelming influence on the register, although it is mentioned directly only a handful of times. The bishop of Barcelona, Miquel de Ricoma, was absent at Avignon throughout his tenure (1346-1361), but his vicars-general continued to provide churches to worthy candidates, promote new clerics, and hear cases in the episcopal court. Their work was complicated in the wake of the Black Death: churches lost rectors, patrons did not present candidates for vacant positions (perhaps due to a lack of qualified replacements), and last wills were left unexecuted. Meanwhile, the usual business of the diocesan courts continued, with debts being registerd, criminal clergy punished, and lax parishioners exhorted. The introduction to the present calendar describes the historical and ecclesiastical setting, and includes analysis of the process of registration. The calendar contains detaild summaries of the 1036 documents in the register; selected ent
Town and Countryside in the Age of the Black Death, Essays in Honour of John Hatcher
, Brepols, 2012 hardback, XXXVIII 473 p., 58 b/w ill., 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, Hardback,. ISBN 9782503535173.
This collection of essays by many of the leading scholars of the medieval English economy focuses on one of the most fascinating periods in English social and economic history and provides a worthy tribute to the pioneering work of John Hatcher in this field. The arrival of the Black Death in England, which killed around a half of the national population, marks the beginning of one of the most fascinating, controversial and important periods of English social and economic history. This collection of essays on English society and economy in the later Middle Ages provides a worthy tribute to the pioneering work of John Hatcher in this field. With contributions from many of the most eminent historians of the English economy in the later Middle Ages, the volume includes discussions of population, agriculture, the manor, village society, trade, and industry. The book?s chapters offer original reassessments of key topics such as the impact of the Black Death on population and its effects on agricultural productivity and estate management. A number of its studies open up new areas of research, including the demography of coastal communities and the role of fairs in the late medieval economy, whilst others explore the problems of evidence for mortality rates or for change within the village community. Bringing together broad surveys of change and local case studies based on detailed archival research, the book?s chapters offer an assessment of previous work in the field and suggest a number of new directions for scholarship in this area.

The Black Death.
London, Collins, 1969, in-8°, 319 pp, une carte sur double page des progrès de la peste en Europe en 1347-1349, notes, biblio, index, reliure toile éditeur, sans la jaquette, bon état. Texte en anglais
"Les livres des non spécialistes sont souvent les plus agréables à lire. Celui de Ziegler sur la peste en Europe au XIVe siècle en donne un bon exemple. Évitant les longues discussions sur les origines de l'épidémie, il utilise les récits de contemporains pour faire saisir l'impression d'horreur qu'elle produisait et suit son cheminement à travers l'Europe. Un chapitre descriptif sur la vie d'un village anglais, lors de l'épidémie, en précède un autre, beaucoup plus technique, sur le nombre des victimes en Europe. La marge d'incertitude reste énorme. En Angleterre, où les archives médiévales sont particulièrement riches, les estimations sur la mortalité vont de 23 à 45 % . En Italie, elle aurait atteint de 40 à 60 % dans les villes. Les conséquences sociales et économiques de ce fléau sont examinées avec un sens critique aigu. On a beaucoup trop répété que la mortalité par la peste était la cause directe de l'affranchissement des serfs en Europe. Il y eut en réalité de grandes différences régionales. Il est, en revanche, beaucoup plus assuré que les ravages provoqués par l'épidémie dans les rangs du clergé firent reculer l'usage du latin comme langue savante, et contribuèrent ainsi à la naissance du sentiment national au XVe siècle. En Allemagne et en Hollande, la peste eut des conséquences particulièrement dramatiques : extension du mouvement mystique des Flagellants et persécutions contre les Juifs, qui trouvèrent asile en Pologne." (J. Houdaille, Population, 1971) — "Cet ouvrage, qui se lit agréablement, est une synthèse fort bien faite des recherches historiques, anciennes et récentes, sur la Grande Peste de 1348. Après avoir décrit les formes de la maladie, il expose d'abord, pour chacun des grands pays de l'Occident européen, le développement géographique et l'ampleur du mal. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la Grande-Bretagne. Les conclusions que l'A. tire pour son pays sont pertinentes dans l'ensemble pour le nôtre : la Grande Peste, en faisant disparaître probablement un tiers de la population, a modifié pour plusieurs décennies les rapports entre les subsistances et les hommes d'une part, entre les propriétaires fonciers et les exploitants d'autre part : une population moins nombreuse se nourrit mieux ; et la rareté de main-d'œuvre conduit le maître du sol à accorder d'importants avantages pour que ce dernier soit cultivé." (Michel Lutfalla, Revue d'économie politique, 1969) — "Between 1347 and 1350, the Black Death killed at least one third of Europe's population. Philip Ziegler's classic account traces the course of the virulent epidemic through Europe and its dramatic effect on the lives of those whom it afflicted. First published nearly forty years ago, it remains definitive. The clarity and restraint on every page produce a most potent cumulative effect." (Michael Foot)
