compare Marchione di Coppo Stefani and Ibn Battuta’s descriptions of the Black Death. What do these sources tell us about the European and Islamic response to the plague? Please reference The Florentine Chronicle and “The Plague in Damascus” in your response. In addition, use at least one example from either “Ordinance of Laborers” or “Sources for the Black Death and the Jews” to support your answer. Did any of the readings (or Professor Wood’s lectures) challenge what you already knew about the Black Death?
