The [[Black Death]]'s death toll in [[Gaza]]  +
After the [[Black Death]] had ended in [[Jerusalem]], the [[Friday]] preacher ʿIzz al-Dīn b. Jamāʿa hosted a banquet which the author was invited to: While the plague had lasted, ʿIzz al-Dīn had vowed to host a feast when the epidemic will have abated and he will not have prayed over a deceased person for one day. Most of the notables and dignitaries (ashyākh) Ibn Baṭṭūṭa had known in Jerusalem had died during the plague.  +

On August 7, [[1348]] the number of [[plague]] deaths in [[Damascus]] and its surroundings reached almost 300. Around September 10 (in mid-Jumādā II 749 H), the number of deceased further increased; both elite and common people died; the exact death toll remained unknown. On August 18, the governor of [[Syria]] (nāʾib al-salṭana) ordered all [[dog]]s in the city to be killed. On September 27 [or, according to one manuscript: October 3], 42 deceased were prayed for at the Umayyad Mosque alone; the mosque didn’t provide enough space for all the corpses, so some had to be placed outside the Sirr Gate.  +
In September or October 1348, the [[Black Death]] had abated in [[Alexandria]] and [[Cairo]]. The maximum death toll in Alexandria had been 1,080, while it had been 21,000 in Cairo. Everyone from among the city elites Ibn Baṭṭūṭa had known in Cairo had died.  +
A pilgrimage caravan left [[Cairo]] for [[Mecca]] in Rajab 749 H (September 26 to October 24, [[1348]]). The [[Black Death]] accompanied it until it reached the [[Ayla]] pass (ʿAqaba).  +

On October 7, [[1348]] the number of people who had died of [[plague]] and were prayed for at the Umayyad Mosque in [[Damascus]] reached 150 or more; not included were inhabitants of the outskirts of the city and members of the protected religious minorities (ahl al-dhimma) whose bodies were not brought to the Umayyad Mosque. It was said that on many days, casualties in the outskirts of [[Damascus]] (ḥawāḍir al-balad) reached more than 1,000. On October 7, a dust storm reached [[Damascus]]; people prayed to God and ask for this to be the end of the [[plague]]; things only got worse afterwards, though. On Miʿrāj Night (October 21), not as many people as usual gathered in the Umayyad Mosque because so many people had died of [[plague]] and many more were occupied caring for the sick and the deceased. In the beginning of Shaʿbān 749 H (the month began on October 25), many people were infected with [[plague]] ([[fanāʾ]]), and often there would be a bad smell in the city.  +
In 1349, after an [[earthquake]], the [[Plague]] arrived in [[Austria]] together with [[flagellants]]. Around the feast of St John the baptist the disease was so severe that in [[Vienna]] 500 funerals were held per day. The disease spread because wells and other waters had been poisoned by the [[Jews]] who where persecuted all over the country.  +
Around New Year of 1349 [[flagellants]] appeared in [[Austria]] and they remained active until Easter, when the plague diminished. The [[Jews]] were accused to have poisoned wells and other waters.  +
In 1349 flagellants arose in [[Austria]] and when they were no longer active a great plague raged the land with unheard of mortality.  +
In many places in [[Austria]] and [[Bavaria]] many people died of a most cruel plague, e.g. in [[Mühldorf am Inn]] in Upper Bavaria died on the feastday of St Michael (September 29) 1.400 people. The Jews were made responsible for the plague and in [[Salzburg]], [[Munich]] and other places they were persecuted.  +
