I’ve always had a fascination with the Black Death, but the problem is, it seems all we know about the pestilence is from mostly European sources. There has to be more to the pandemic than that, though. Which is why I’ve been wondering, what was the effect of the Black Death on the Muslim world? Did they take a similar tole on them? And how did they handle the disease? I would assume a little bit differently compared to their European counterparts, given their reputation for more advanced medical knowledge for a medieval society, but it’s possible I’m wrong.
While much more can always be said, I posted some basic books and further links on that topic before in: How hard were the Islamic states hit by the Black death of 1347-51? How did it affect their society and economy?
