A Visual History of the LMA

• Directions for todays class
• You will receive a blank piece of cardstock.
  Once you receive it, fold it into three equal
  parts.
• Class will be divided into three mini-lectures
  (Mr. Gorske talking for a short time). During
  the mini-lectures, take notes on the provided
  notes sheet.
• After each section, you will be given time to
  draw a picture that summarizes each event
  discussed in class. This will give you something
  to look back on as you review. At the end of
  class I may be looking for volunteers to show
  what they came up with in class.
• (Notes will not be graded.)

Section One The Black Death

  rats and in turn bit humans.

Cures?

• Medieval people did not know about germs causing
  disease. They did not understand that plague was
  spread by rats and fleas. They thought that
  peoples bodies were poisoned.
• If the swellings burst and the poison came
  outpeople sometimes survived. It seemed
  sensible to draw out the poison.

11
Medieval Cure 1

• The swellings should be softened with figs and
  cooked onions. The onions should be mixed with
  yeast and butter. Then open the swellings with a
  knife.

12
Medieval Cure 2

• Take a live frog and put its belly on the plague
  sore. The frog will swell up and burst. Keep
  doing this with further frogs until they stop
  bursting. Some people say that a dried toad will
  do the job better.

13
First Hand Account

• And so they died. And nobody could be found to
  bury the dead for money or for friendshipAnd in
  many places in Siena huge pits were dug and piled
  deep with great heaps of the deadAnd I buried my
  five children with my own hands and many others
  did likewise. And there were many corpses about
  the city who were so sparsely covered with earth
  that dogs dragged them out and devoured their
  bodies.
