medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
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

Un collega sta verificando l'attendibilitŕ di Adémar de Chabannes come
fonte storica e vorrebbe sapere se ci sono altre fonti su un terremoto che
avrebbe colpito Roma intorno al 1020-21.
Qualcuno ha idea di dove cercare?
Molte grazie
