A plague in Moscow, its surroundings and Pereyaslavl-Zalessky

Text originalOriginal text

B лѣтo 6874[1]. Быcть моръ великъ нa люди въ градѣ Мocквѣ и вo всѣхъ прeдѣлexъ eгo, яко же и в Пepecлавли былъ.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

In the year 6874. There was a great plague[2] among the people in the city of Moscow and in all its surroundings, which had previously also occurred in Pereyaslavl[-Zalessky]

  1. I date the plague to 1367 because the source under 6876 provides information with the full date (Tuesday, December 21), which refers to 1367, not 1366.
  2. The above inference proves that it was rather another wave of the Black Death, not identical to the one dated to 1364-1365.
