Although scholars are reluctant to set percentage figures, it is generally agreed that of those infected with plague, more than 30%—and perhaps as many as 45%—died: as many as 25,000,000 to over 40,000,000 in Europe alone between 1347 and 1352. For the Christian and Islamic worlds, the combined figure over the longer span of this study is truly staggering.
