On the basis of 7,871 manorial accounts from 601 sheep‐rearing demesnes and 187 tithe receipts from 15 parishes, this article addresses the origins, scale, and impact of the wool and textile production crisis in England, c. 1275–1350. The article argues that recurrent outbreaks of scab disease depressed sheep population and wool production levels until the early 1330s. The disease, coupled with warfare and taxation, also had a decisive role in depressing the volumes of wool exports. Despite this fact, wool merchants were still conducting business with major wool producers, who desperately needed access to the capital to replenish their flocks.

螨虫和商人：重新审视英国羊毛和纺织品贸易的危机c。1275–1330†

基于来自601个牧羊场的7,871个庄园账户和来自15个堂区的187十分之一的收入，本文论述了英格兰羊毛和纺织品生产危机的起源，规模和影响c。1275年至1350年。文章认为，直到1330年代初，sc疮病的反复发作压抑了绵羊的数量和羊毛的生产水平。这种疾病，加上战争和税收，在抑制羊毛出口量方面也起着决定性作用。尽管如此，羊毛商人仍在与主要的羊毛生产商开展业务，后者迫切需要进入首都以补充羊群。
