“Legal Book of Gundobald Regarding Jews” (“Liber Legum Gundobadi de Judaeis”) issued by King Gundobad [Kingdom of the Burgundians; Present-day France, Italy, Switzerland] [Provisional]: “1) Jews who dare to lay a hand on Christians in a fight, or harm them with club, whips, stone, or by any other mean, we order that they should have their hand cut off, 2) unless they are able to pay a penance of 12 solidus* and a fine of 12 solidus* […]. 3) Furthermore, if a Jew dares to attack a clergymen, he shall be delivered to death and his possessions handed over to our treasury.” [Researcher’s note: *The solidus was a Late Roman cold coin. The date for this text is lost. All that is known is that it must have been issued before King Gundobad’s death in 516.]
