Consequently, most countries have undergone lockdowns, social distancing, and mandated masks because of the worldwide pandemic.

"Книга о разнообразии мира" (также известна под названиями "Книга чудес света", "Путешествия Марка Поло", "Книга Марко Поло") - описание путешествий Марко Поло по Азии и Африке, совершённых в период между 1276 и 1291 годами, которые с его слов на старофранцузском языке записал Рустикелло из Пизы (находившийся вместе с ним в генуэзской тюрьме). Одним из мифов, сложившихся вокруг этой книги, является представление о путешествии Поло как о первом контакте между Европой и Китаем.

Thousands of Jews forcibly converted to Christianity in Spain and Portugal were subjected to religious persecution for continuing to adhere to their ancestral faith. The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions lasted for centuries, and when their attention on Judaizers ended, they switched to other concerns, including Protestantism, bigamy, and blasphemy. The Inquisition typically conjures up images of intolerance, persecution, and violence, and rightly so. Many people think of it as a reflection of the spiritual, scholastic, and scientific darkness of the medieval period.

The year was 1391. Spring was about to turn into summer. By the end of the summer, 80 Jewish communities in Castile and Aragon were torn by violence. A third of the Jewish community had been murdered. Perhaps another third of the Jewish community had converted. Only a third of the Jewish population remained intact. While their conversions had initially been met with a grand celebration by their Christian neighbors, those Jews who had yielded to baptism to rescue their lives and those of their families eventually proved a thorn in the side of the church. Could they be trusted?
