The social dynamics that triggered, supported and justified this wave of persecution were propelled by the infamous allegation that Muslims, Christian lepers, paupers, beggars, and, most notably, Jews, conspired to poison water sources in order to spread disease and undermine the ruling Christian elite. Poisoned Wells focuses on this accusation as a critical chapter in the history of the persecution of European minorities. It explains the origin of these allegations in the thirteenth century, how they gained popularity before and during the Black Death, and why they declined in the fifteenth century. By untangling the dynamics of the waves of violence triggered by well-poisoning claims, the book proposes a new understanding of popular and formal reactions to the Black Death, and hence of the history of minorities and their marginalization in late medieval Europe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Poisoning $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Wells $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Persecution $z Europe $x History $y Middle Ages, 600-1500. 650 0 $a Minorities $x History $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Jews $x History $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Black Death $z Europe. 651 0 $a Europe $x History $x Political aspects $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Europe $x History $x Social aspects $x History $y To 1500. 650 6 $a Persecutions $0 (CaQQLa)201-0267433 $z Europe $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0267433 $y 600-1500 (Moyen Age) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0267433 650 6 $a Peste noire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 $z Europe. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 650 7 $a Black Death. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833602 650 7 $a Ethnic relations $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916013 650 7 $a Ethnic relations $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916022 650 7 $a Jews $x Persecutions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983322 650 7 $a Minorities $x Violence against. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023256 650 7 $a Persecution $x Middle Ages. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907140 650 7 $a Poisoning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068142 650 7 $a Wells. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01173723 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Middle Ages series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=09D5AACAC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
