The Justinianic Plague: An inconsequential pandemic?
TL;DR: The evidence does not support the now commonplace claim that the Justinianic Plague was a primary causal factor of demographic, economic, and political changes between the 6th and 8th centuries, and the evidence suggests plague did not play a significant role in the transformation of the Mediterranean world or Europe.

The Eldgjá eruption: timing, long-range impacts and influence on the Christianisation of Iceland
Clive Oppenheimer,Andy Orchard,Markus Stoffel,Timothy P. Newfield,Sébastien Guillet,Christophe Corona,Michael Sigl,Nicola Di Cosmo,Nicola Di Cosmo,Ulf Büntgen,Ulf Büntgen +10 more
TL;DR: High-temporal resolution glaciochemical records from Greenland show that the Eldgjá lava flood eruption began in spring 939 CE and continued, at least episodically, until at least autumn 940 CE, consistent with the eruption’s high yield of sulphur to the atmosphere.
