| 1216-11-28-Egypt | 28 November 1216 JL | In a letter a lethal disease in Egypt is mentioned, dated November 28, 1216. | אלמהדב אלמתסוק מן מצר... |
In a letter that has survived as a fragment, a member of one of Egypt’s Jewish communities informs the addressee that a lethal disease (Arab. amrāḍ, Hebr. negef, dever) has affected an unnamed place in Egypt. The letter is dated November 28, 1216 (Kislev 16, 1528 Seleucid era). | Princeton Geniza Project (PGP), T-S 6J6.20, ed. by Alan Elbaum PGP | Translation by Undine Ott |
| 1323-08-05-Cairo | 1323 JL | In the wake of a hot, black storm illnesses (amrāḍ) spread in Cairo in summer/autumn 723 AH (1323). For the period of a month, a number of people died. A similar storm had killed people in Damascus before, in Shaʿbān 723 AH (August 5 - September 2, 1323), and had made fruits wither and water run dry; Damascene wheat prices had subsequently gone up. In Cairo, the storm equally hampered grain crop growth, hence grain prices rose since little grain was available. | Al-Maqrīzī, Al-Sulūk 1997, vol. 3, p. 66. | Translation needed |
