  Encyclopedia of the Black Death is the first
A–Z encyclopedia to cover the second plague pandemic, balancing medical history and technical matters with
historical, cultural, social, and political factors and effects in Europe and the Islamic world from 1347–1770.
It also bookends the period with entries on Biblical plagues and the Plague of Justinian, as well as modern-era material
regarding related topics, such as the work of Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, the Third Plague Pandemic of the mid-1800s,
and plague in the United States.
  Unlike previous encyclopedic works about this subject that deal broadly with
infectious disease and its social or historical contexts, including the author's own, this interdisciplinary work
synthesizes much of the research on the plague and related medical history published in the last decade in accessible,
compellingly written entries. Controversial subject areas such as whether "plague" was bubonic plague and the geographic
source of plague are treated in a balanced and unbiased manner.
  
  Reviews
  "The work begins with a helpful list of
entries by topic (among them, 'Arts and Literature,' 'Biomedical Causes and Issues,' and 'Religion') and a time line.
Entries are short, running one to two pages, and cover the typical (Alchemy, Animals, Fleas, Mass graves and plague
cemeteries) and the unexpected ( Abandonment, Purgatory, Sumptuary laws) as well as many of the notable people of the
times. The writing is clear and straightforward. All entries conclude with a list of references, and see also references
are included, where helpful. A glossary, an extensive bibliography, and a general index round out the work. This
single-volume resource will serve as a good starting point for research on the Black Death."
  -Booklist
  
  "I found this a very interesting reference work which examines
the profound effect the epidemic had on the social and political landscape in European and Islamic countries as well as
changes in medicine, medical studies and government-controlled public health policies. . . . Overall, this is a work
which I think expands knowledge of the plague, not just during the period of the official Black Death, but also by
providing the context of all three pandemics, how each one relates to the other, and how society, biomedicine, public
health and politics respond to these crises, and developed as a result. This book would be an excellent addition to
academic e-collections, of particular interest to humanities students of all disciplines, and historians. Scientists
studying the history of medicine and biomedicine may also find this useful."
  -Reference Reviews
  
  "This is a terrific subject encyclopedia. . . . This
will be a very useful acquisition for academic libraries in particular, especially those at institutions with programs
in medieval history, history of science, and the humanities. Highly recommended."
  -Choice
  
  "Joseph Byrne, a medievalist well versed in myriad aspects of the
period, displays his command of the era by examining aspects of bubonic plague. His skill at humanistic analysis reaches
a height in such topics as virgin soil disease, medical education, remedies, and repopulation. . . . Overall, the
comprehensive A to Z entries, timeline, maps and illustrations, bibliography, glossary, and detailed index provide high
school, public, and college and university libraries with a valuable tool for understanding one of Earth's most
terrifying catastrophes."
  -ARBA
  
  Book Description
  Although scholars are reluctant to set percentage figures, it
is generally agreed that of those infected with plague, more than 30%—and perhaps as many as 45%—died: as
many as 25,000,000 to over 40,000,000 in Europe alone between 1347 and 1352. For the Christian and Islamic worlds, the
combined figure over the longer span of this study is truly staggering.
