Report of Gabrielle de Mussis: In the [[Orient]] happened an unexplained [[plague]], depopultating many regions. During the [[siege]] of [[Feodosia]] (Caffa) by the [[Tartars]], their [[army]] was afflicted by the disease. The plague, which initially struck the Tartars, spread than also inside the city, because they ordered the plague-stricken corpses to be thrown over the walls of Caffa. The situation deteriorated, and people were expecting the impending [[judgement Day]].  +
Great [[epidemic]] and [[war]] in [[Saxony]].  +
In 747 H (April 24, 1346 to April 12, 1347), the [[Black Death]] spread in [[the Horde]] (bilād Uzbak), where many people died in villages as well as towns. [[Plague]] then arrived in [[Crimea]] where the maximum daily death toll amounted to ca. 1,000, as the author, Ibn al-Wardī, was told by a trustworthy merchant. Afterwards, [[plague]] spread to [[Asia Minor]] (Rūm) where it killed many people. An Aleppine merchant who had returned from [[Crimea]] reported to Ibn al-Wardī that the judge (qāḍī) of [[Crimea]] had said that they had counted the deceased and that the number had amounted to 85,000 known [[plague]] deaths. The [[plague]] reached [[Cyprus]], too, and the death toll was enormously high there as well.  +

[[Epidemic]] follows [[famine]] in [[Florence]], 4000 dead (mainly [[women]] and [[children]]); particularly bad in [[Romagna]], [[Provence]], [[Bologna]], [[Vignone]], [[Pistoia]] and [[Prato]]. The [[mortality]] was foretold by astrologers.  +
Until harvest-time the problems of food [[shortage]] still existed in [[Florence]]. The first signs of the [[Black Death]] were seen in this time, but the [[plague]] arose already 2 year earlier in the East. The [[symptoms]] were horrible and many people died.  +
The great [[shortage]] of food in [[Florence]] led to disease and illness. The city took measures to reduce [[poverty]], [[usury]] and exploitation. In addition, many prisoners were allowed to go out to freedom under certain terms. The conditions in the prisons were so terrible, that it was unavoidable.  +
