Many thanks (particularly to Daniel and Christopher) for your suggestions following my query! I shall share this with the person whose question sparked my own.
Best wishes, George
PS: If any of you come across meteorological material that would be relevant, please keep me in mind and let me know -- thanks!

Subject: [M-R] sources for notable weather or seismic events in Middle
Ages?
Dear medieval-religionists,
A colleague has posted a message to the italian-studies list that made me wonder about what reference sources might exist in a rather particular area. He is trying to find evidence that might support Ademar of Chabannes who states that Rome was affected by an earthquake around 1020 - 1021.
Does there exist a detailed compilation somewhere that might list, in chronological or typological order, extraordinary events such as this? I've often wondered this when I've encountered mentions in medieval vitae of things such as famines.
Many thanks for any information you might be able to share in this regard.
Best wishes,
George
