T does not seem to me that the Jewish people can be the cause of this general epidemic throughout the whole world, as many sugge

st. My reasoning is as follows.
First, it is well-known that in most places where the Jewish people dwelled, they died in droves from the exact same disease as the Christians. If they really caused the epidemic, they would not have killed themselves and others of their faith.


Second, many people say that the Jews poisoned the wells, causing the disease. This also seems doubtful, because after the wells full of polluted water had been purified, the people still died in great numbers. Further, in cities that use water only from great rivers like the Danube, the inhabitants have also died in large numbers.


Moreover, even after all the Jews in many places had been killed and were completely driven out for nearly two years prior, the disease now strikes these same places just as powerfully as before."

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

“It does not seem to me that the Jewish people can be the cause of this general epidemic throughout the whole world, as many suggest. My reasoning is as follows.

First, it is well-known that in most places where the Jewish people dwelled, they died in droves from the exact same disease as the Christians. If they really caused the epidemic, they would not have killed themselves and others of their faith.

Second, many people say that the Jews poisoned the wells, causing the disease. This also seems doubtful, because after the wells full of polluted water had been purified, the people still died in great numbers. Further, in cities that use water only from great rivers like the Danube, the inhabitants have also died in large numbers.

Moreover, even after all the Jews in many places had been killed and were completely driven out for nearly two years prior, the disease now strikes these same places just as powerfully as before.”

Conrad of Megenberg, German philosopher and theologian educated at the University of Paris, Concerning the Mortality in Germany, book written in Latin, 1350

a) Describe the historical situation in which Conrad of Megenberg wrote his book.

b) Describe ONE argument that Conrad of Megenberg makes regarding the Jewish people and the spread of disease.

c) Describe ONE way in which the disease referred to in the passage influenced the development of urban areas in the period 1350–1450.

Answer and Explanation:

a. Conrad is referring to the proliferation of the black plague in Europe. The black plague was a very violent epidemic that managed to cause many deaths in all European countries. People had no idea where this disease had been generated and many blamed the Jews for having generated and spread the disease, which caused much persecution to these people, murders and expulsions.

B. Conrad shows that the idea that the Jews caused the disease was very unrealistic, since they too were being affected by the disease and no one would kill himself and his own people. In other words, he claims that the Jews were not the culprits.

c. The black plague caused many deaths. Some countries have even had 50% or more of their population killed by the disease. This caused a decrease in the population of cities and rural centers, however. However, it was possible to see a vast rural exodus towards the urban centers of people looking for better ways of life.
