Notes: Conjunction of Mars Saturn Jupiter discussed by Medical Faculty of Paris in October 1348

Source: See AA Journal 19883006 page 302-309. [original AA database] The article claims an announcement was made in 1345. In fact, the Paris Medical Faculty made a report in 1348 investigating the cause of the plague, and attributed it to a Mars/Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius, at one hour after noon on 20 March 1345. https://sites.uwm.edu/carlin/the-report-of-the-paris-medical-faculty-october-1348/ [Chris Mitchell]
