VIRUS Beiträge zur Sozialgeschichte der Medizin Band 22 Schwerpunkt: Epidemie und Emotion

Abstract: A series of synchronous epidemic outbreaks 1259 in Europe, but also in the Near East and East Asia, which have received scant attention so far, are reconstructed here for the first time. A previously little considered consequence of the late/mid 1250s Samalas eruption is proposed here as an explanation: increased UV-B radiation due to a temporary reduction in the ozone layer caused by geochemical processes following the volcanic eruption. The combined experience of disease, harvest failure, and political conflict, against the background of older penitential practices, are seen as the cause of the genesis of the flagellant movement in Perugia in the spring of 1260 and its success throughout Europe. The spectacular and largely enigmatic genesis of the flagellants’ emotionality and radicalism is thus given an environmental historical contextualization that has eluded previous historiography on the subject. Keywords: Flagellants, Samalas, synchronicity, penitence, emotion, Perugia, 13th century Published Online: 2023/12/28 07:20:41 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x003eb7d6 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
