“Mandate” of Pope Gregor IX [Present-day Germany]: “Pope Gregory [declares that he has] decided against the Jews in Regensburg [who had wanted to establish a cemetery on grounds purchased from the cloister St. Emmeram and to convert a house purchased from the same cloister into a synagogue and] orders to have this matter investigated, and suggests/advises [the Abby and cloister] to force the Jews to give up these lands/grounds as restitution for the other complaints, if necessary, and to threaten then with expulsion […]” [Researcher’s note: The above is a translation of a German summary of the original Latin text which can be found in Lang’s Regesta Boica (Volume II). It was issued in response to a complaint brought forth by the Abby and convent in St. Emmeram stating that the Jews of Regensburg had unlawfully (‘contra iustitiam’) taken ownership of the land of the cloister.]
