“Ordinance” issued by Margrave Johann V of Brandenburg [Present-day Germany; Margraviate of Brandenburg]: “[…] no guests, foreigners or those who have moved in[to the city] among the Jews are to be permitted to slaughter [animals] unless they have first become citizens and have received their civil rights. Only then are Jews permitted to slaughter [animals] for their own use. During the summers, when [salt] curing is not possible and the meat cannot be consumed in accordance to their sacred rites, they are not permitted to sell [the the meat] in smaller pieces than in quarters. […] The slaughter of billy-goats and nanny-goats and young bulls (‘Varren teutonice appellantur’) and clean/heifer calves […] are prohibited to Jews all together if they do not wish to consume those themselves.”
