A secondary source that a historian might use in a study of the negative effects of the Mongolian Empire on Europe would be a letter written by English philosopher Roger Bacon. This is because secondary sources are created after an event and often analyze or interpret primary sources or the events themselves. In contrast, the other options provided, such as The Travels of Marco Polo and the eyewitness account of Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, are primary sources, as they provide firsthand accounts or narratives from that time period. The painting, while artistic, is also a primary source reflecting historical context.
