Today's image was from Giovanni Sercambi’s chronicle of his hometown of Lucca. This image reflects an experience of the Second Plague Pandemic. It provided an entry into discussing limits of sources, as opposed to their biases. Sercambi's illustration tells us how people thought of plague, but not how plague spread.

I wrote more about using this and other images here: https://ebeckman.org/2021/02/24/using-historical-sources-about-the-plague/

I put together an AP-style DBQ for my class last week using some of the plague sources. Just added it to a page with presentation I did on teaching the Second Plague Pandemic.

I am interested in adding East Asian source or two. @teachworldhistory @histodons Suggestions?
