The document summarizes Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th century work Decameron, which describes the bubonic plague pandemic in Florence, Italy in 1348. It outlines how the plague spread from Asia to Europe, then arrived in Florence, discussing the visible symptoms like swollen lymph nodes. It notes the plague could spread from contact with infected fabrics or animals. This led to widespread fear among the people and breakdown of family ties as people tried to isolate or avoid the sick. Order in the city collapsed as authority was dissolved during the crisis.

"My Little Portuguese”! Robert Browning used to address her in this pet name and Elizabeth wrote in Sonnet-33 “Yes, call me by my pet-name! let me hear”.Elizabeth Barrette Browning was one of the most prominent Victorian rational feminist poetesses.
A rational-humane point of view manifests itself in her poems.She developed this quality because she was "self-taught in almost every respect."
Edgar Allen Poe called her "the noblest of her sex” and borrowed the themetic elements of his famous poem 'Raven' from her poem.

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE PLAGUE
1. Gabriele de Mussi: Istoria de Morbo or History of the Pestilence (1348)
Gabriele de Mussi (1280-1356) was an Italian notary from Piacenza, who either travelled himself to
Caffa (a Genoese trading post in the Crimea), or, more plausibly, acquired his detailed information
on the spread of the Black Death from eye witnesses of the Mongols’ siege against Caffa. According
to de Mussi, the plague was transmitted intentionally by the Mongols, who hurled cadavers of
people infected with the disease into the besieged city-port. The Genoese fleeing from Caffa brought
the disease to Italy. If accurate, this is one of the earliest recorded instances of biological warfare.
In 1346, in the countries of the East, countless numbers of Tartars [Mongols] and Saracens
[Muslim Turks] were struck down by a mysterious illness which brought sudden death. Within
these countries broad regions, far-spreading provinces, magnificent kingdoms, cities, towns and
settlements, ground down by illness and devoured by dreadful death, were soon stripped of their
inhabitants. An eastern settlement under the rule of the Tartars called Tana, which lay to the
north of Constantinople and was much frequented by Italian merchants, was totally abandoned
after an incident there which led to its being besieged and attacked by hordes of Tartars who
gathered in a short space of time. The Christian merchants, who had been driven out by force,
were so terrified of the power of the Tartars that, to save themselves and their belongings, they
fled in an armed ship to Caffa, a settlement in the same part of the world which had been
founded long ago by the Genoese.
Oh God! See how the heathen Tartar races, pouring together from all sides, suddenly advanced
upon the city of Caffa and besieged the trapped Christians there for almost three years. There,
hemmed in by an immense army, they [the Christians] could hardly draw breath, although food
could be shipped in, which offered them some hope. But behold, the whole army was affected by
a disease which overran the Tartars and killed thousands upon thousands every day. It was as
though arrows were raining down from heaven to strike and crush the Tartars’ arrogance. All
medical advice and attention was useless; the Tartars died as soon as the signs of disease
appeared on their bodies: swellings in the armpit or groin caused by coagulating humors,
followed by a putrid fever.
The dying Tartars, stunned and stupefied by the immensity of the disaster brought about by the
disease, and realizing that they had no hope of escape, lost interest in the siege. But they ordered
corpses to be placed in catapults and lobbed into the city in the hope that the intolerable stench
would kill everyone inside. What seemed like mountains of dead were thrown into the city, and
the Christians could not hide or flee or escape from them, although they dumped as many of th ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. THE PLAGUE SPREADS IN
EUROPE
“Started a few years before in the East, and after
many victims among the inhabitants, and
propagating from one place to another, it was
widespread in the West spreading pain and dispair.”

4. FROM THE EAST THE
PLAGUE ARRIVES TO
FLORENCE
“It had already past 1348 years from the vantage incarnation
of the Son of God, when the deadly epidemy arrived in the
noble city of Florence, more beautiful than any other city in
Italy.”

6. THE VISIBLE SYMPTOMS
OF PLAGUE
“At the beginning of this disease it formed, equally in men
and women, or in the groin or under the armpits certain
rigonfiature, some of which swelled like a medium-sized
apple, others as an egg, which the common people called
gavaccioli.”

8. THE CONTAGION HITS
HUMANS AND ANIMALS
“Of this infection my eyes were direct witnesses: as the rags
of a poor man who was killed by the plague were thrown on
the road and two pigs came upon them, took them greedily,
first with the snout and then with their teeth, and within
soon afterwards, after some twisting, as if they had taken
poison, they both fell dead.”

10. FEAR AMONG THE PEOPLE
AND DESTROYED FAMILY
TIES
In the survivors were originated many fears and
hallucinations, almost all tended to end a truly inhuman, or
avoid and escape the sick and their things, behaving in this
way, each of them believed to safeguard their health.

12. “ANARCHY IN THE CITY”
In such misery and unworthiness, the respectable authority
of the law-both human and divine ones-was almost entirely
canceled and dissolved.
13.
14. THE DEMOCRATIC VALUES IN THE
DECAMERON
•Equality between genders
•Equality among different cultures
•No diversity between social classes
15. EQUALITY AMONG THE DIFFERENT
PEOPLES
We speek of equality among the
different peoples because Boccaccio
highlights the importance of women, the
group is predominantly composed of
women.
16. EQUALITY AMONG DIFFERENT
CULTURES
We speek of equality among
different cultures because Boccaccio
writes about a different countries,
different languages and different
cultures.
17. NO DIVERSITY BETWEEN SOCIAL
CLASSES
We speek of no diversity between social
classes because Boccaccio in a period of crisis
speaks of the people as if it were all the
same, there is no difference between rich and
poor, they are all afraid of the plague.
