SUMMARY:How Should We Assess the Impact of the Justinianic Plague?
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019 a number of efforts have been made to try to down-pl
 ay (or dismiss) the impact of the Justinianic Plague of the sixth to eight
 h centuries AD. But what would such ‘impact’ consist of? And how would
  we be able to discern it given the nature of the evidence we have? This p
 aper argues that in order to understand the Early Medieval pandemic\, we n
 eed to adopt a comparative approach\, informed by periods for which both t
 he evidence is more extensive and the historiography more sophisticated. E
 xamination of the impact of the Black Death in Late Medieval England\, for
  example\, reveals the extent to which much of the recent literature with 
 respect to the Justinianic Plague has been looking for the wrong things\, 
 in the wrong places\, and hence drawing the wrong conclusions.\\r\\n\\r\\n
