Re: Black Death timeline

I have been trying to come up with a definitive timeline for the Black
Death - that is, the 'exact' dates that the plague arrived in each city and
the routes it travelled. I have literally read through 46 books to date and
no two seem to agree on the same time frame. For example:

Arrival in Genoa ranges from Nov 1347 to Jan 1348
Marseille ranges from Dec 1347 to Jan 1348 to Feb 1348
Lyon - Feb 1348 to 22 April 1348
Bordeaux is either March, April or June 1348
Weymouth is the widest spread from 8 May 1348 to 01 Aug 1348

I believe I have read through just about every major academic work done on
the topic - but for the life of me I can't come up with two books espousing
the same dates. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or, perhaps care to wade
in with some discussion on same?


You want to get really confused take a look at the timeline for Poland
of the Black death.
