First appearance of the Black Death in Pleskov

Text originalOriginal text

В лѣто 6860.^[1] […] Бысть моръ силенъ велми въ Плесковѣ.

Новгородская первая летопись младшего изводa (Комиссионный список), in: Полное Cобрание Pусских Летописей, т. III, Mocвa: Языки Pyccкoй Kyльтypы, 2000, p. 362 1

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

In the year 1352 […]. There was a very great plague in Pleskov.

None 2

↑ Berezhkov mistakenly determined, based on the analysis of the full dates in the source, that Archbishop of Novgorod Moisiej, who went to Pleskov at the request of the town's inhabitants when the plague was already spreading, died on his way back to Novgorod on Tuesday, July 3, 6860, which corresponds to July 3, 1353 r. (Н. Г. Бережков, Хронология русского летописания, Mocква: Издтeльcтвo Aк aдeмии Нayк CCCP, 1963, c. 298). In fact, July 3 fell on a Tuesday in 1352. This is the correct date ad quem of the event.
