This study examines the widespread persecution of Jews during the Black Death of 1347-1352. By including historians such as David Nirenberg, R. I. Moore, Anthony Bale and Gavin I. Langmuir, the study establishes a varied field of possible explanations and interpretations pertaining to the medieval persecution of Jews. The organisational notions of top-down and bottom-up have been used in order to understand these persecutions. The study suggests that the former category, namely the ecclesiastical and secular elites, were the primary initiators of these persecutions, but that the so-called common people very much had an interpretative and reinforcing role to play.This study examines the widespread persecution of Jews during the Black Death of 1347-1352.
