Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the novel, an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th. A suggested origin of the superstition—Friday, 13 October 1307, the date Philip IV of France arrested hundreds of the Knights Templar—may not have been formulated until the 20th century.

the origin of fears surrounding Friday the 13th is unclear. there is no written evidence if Friday the 13th superstition before the 19th century.
