   • 2001 July 29, R. W. B. Lewis, “'Dante'”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:

     The Decameron , like Boccaccio's other writings, is thick with allusions to stories and passages in the Comedy; Boccaccio also transcribed and composed a commentary on the poem. In the early 1350s, he compiled the first biography of Dante; it remains a unique and indispensable source.

     However, after the 1980s, the "North-South dipole" disappeared and snowpack declined across the entire range, indicating temperature is playing an increasingly important role in snowpack levels. This West-wide decline appeared to occur only one other time in the tree-ring record during the 1350s and early 1400s when temperatures were nearly as warm as today.

   • 2021, Mark Bailey, After the Black Death‎^[3], page 245:

     After c.1400 the scale of, and profits from, dairy farming declined greatly.⁶⁹ Similarly, in the 1390s cattle rearing began to level off in many parts of the country, but continued to expand until the early fifteenth century in certain areas of northern and southern England.⁷⁰ Chicken prices fell from the volatile highs of the 1350s and 1360s and remained stable throughout the 1380s and 1390s, albeit at a higher level than in the pre-plague period.⁷¹ In the 1380s demesne poultry rearing contracted and became less commercialized, perhaps due to a transfer of production to the peasant sector.⁷²
