Is De Mussis' account trustworthy?
[edit]The article seems to take De Mussis' account at face value. Some academics question his truthfulness, for example: Benedictow, Ole Jørgen. The Complete History of the Black Death. Boydell & Brewer, 2021. pages 148-152; "5. The siege of Kaffa: was the Black Death spread to Europe after biological warfare?" 173.79.131.38 (talk) 20:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Indeed, this is no longer the current understanding of the spread of the Black Death. The current view follow's Hannah Barker's 2021 article in Speculum (doi:10.1086/711596). There's an open-access explanation here: [1]. -- asilvering (talk) 04:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
