title = {New Evidence for the Dating and Impact of the Black Death in Asia},
year = {2022},
note = {Since 2014, when The Medieval Globe first presented the latest
interdisciplinary scholarship on the Black Death as a global pandemic,
the pace and intensity of research has intensified. This follow-up
volume features two extended essays laying out evidence that the
Second Plague Pandemic was already ravaging China by the second
quarter of the thirteenth century—over a century before it made its
appearance in the greater Mediterranean region.      In a core
contribution, Robert Hymes presents an extensive analysis of Chinese
medical texts, showing that physicians were adapting their terminology
and treatments to the emergence of a virulent new disease: plague. In
an overarching essay, Monica H. Green summarizes the current state of
our knowledge about the timing and expanse of the Black Death, showing
how combined evidence from genetics and a reconstructed documentary
record can create a coherent new narrative of one of the largest, and
longest, pandemics in history.},
