Abstract

The Black Death, as a unique historical event, has long attracted the attention of medieval and medical historians both in terms of the length of the pandemic and its geographical scope. Nevertheless, historical studies on the Black Death have often neglected the role it played in Iran. The present paper examines Iranian historical accounts of events pertaining to the pandemic in the late Middle Ages and its consequent outbreak in Iran. Its findings can open new frontiers for understanding the broad geographical area impacted by plague and, specifically, its spread in Iran. This paper attempts also to highlight the value of Iranian historical sources from the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries for understanding better the outbreak of the plague.

根据14至15世纪的伊朗历史记载,黑死病在伊朗肆虐
黑死病作为一个独特的历史事件,长期以来一直在大流行的持续时间和地理范围方面吸引着中世纪和医学史学家的注意。然而,关于黑死病的历史研究往往忽视了它在伊朗所起的作用。本论文审查了伊朗历史上关于中世纪晚期大流行及其随后在伊朗爆发的事件的记载。它的发现可以为了解受鼠疫影响的广大地理区域,特别是其在伊朗的传播开辟新的领域。本文还试图强调从14世纪到16世纪的伊朗历史资料的价值,以便更好地了解鼠疫的爆发。

期刊介绍: Publication of the Association for the Study of Persianate Societies. The journal publishes articles on the culture and civilization of the geographical area where Persian has historically been the dominant language or a major cultural force, encompassing Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and parts of the former Ottoman Empire. Its focus on the linguistic, cultural and historical role and influence of Persian culture and Iranian civilization in this area is based on a recognition that knowledge flows from pre-existing facts but is also constructed and thus helps shape the present reality of the Persianate world.
