Between 1348 and 1350, Jews throughout Europe were accused of having caused the spread of the Black Death by poisoning the wells from which the entire population drank. Poisoned Wells explains the origin of these allegations, how they gained popularity before and during the Black Death, and why they declined in the fifteenth century.
