So im writing a term paper for my ap world history class over the bubonic plague and cant find primary sources on some areas. Im specifically looking for primary sources that go over the symptoms and effects of the black plague and another one over how it helped kill feudalism. Does anyone have ideas on documents I could use? Thanks!
These two are standard selected primary texts collection on the Black Death and many facets of its aftermath:
I'm almost sure that at least one of their copies are available at your institution's library, or your teacher has perhaps scanned some of its excerpt and uploaded to the LMS site.
Note that Aberth has changed the selection of primary texts included in the collection quite a bit between the 1st ed. (2005) and 2nd ed. (2017), though. As for your topics, 1st ed. might be more convenient to find the relevant text.
Hi - we as mods have approved this thread, because while this is a homework question, it is asking for clarification or resources, rather than the answer itself, which is fine according to our rules. This policy is further explained in this Rules Roundtable thread and this META Thread.
As a result, we'd also like to remind potential answerers to follow our rules on homework - please make sure that your answers focus appropriately on clarifications and detailing the resources that OP could be using.
Additionally, while users may be able to help you out with specifics relating to your question, we also have plenty of information on /r/AskHistorians on how to find and understand good sources in general. For instance, please check out our six-part series, "Finding and Understanding Sources", which has a wealth of information that may be useful for finding and understanding information for your essay.
