The Black Death by Philip Ziegler. Full black cloth with a design in red and gold by Francis Mosley, twelve pages of colour plates reproducing medieval manuscripts and paintings, map endleaves. Black slipcase. 24 x 16 cm. 282 pp. A series of natural disasters in the Orient during the fourteenth century brought about the most devastating period of death and destruction in European history. The epidemic killed one-third of Europe’s people over a period of three years, and the resulting social and economic upheaval was on a scale unparalleled in all of recorded history. Synthesizing the records of contemporary chroniclers and the work of later historians, Philip Ziegler offers a critically acclaimed overview of this crucial epoch in a single masterly volume. The Black Death vividly and comprehensively brings to light the full horror of this uniquely catastrophic event that hastened the disintegration of an age.
