Problem
i. What role does religion and/or God play in al-Wardi's account of the plague? How do the Sunni-Shiite division and other rifts factor into al-Wardi's account?
ii. How does al-Wardi describe the plague's progress across Afro-Eurasia, and what does that description suggest about al-Wardi's understanding of causation?
iii. What are some attempted remedies described by al-wardi, and what do those remedies suggest about understanding of the plague's causes?
