ca. 1456 C.E.

“Order” issued by Pope Callixtus III, year 1456 [Papal States; Present-day Vatican City, Italy, France] [Provisional]: [Reiterates and confirms most of Pope Eugene’s ‘Dundum ad nostram audientiam’ (papal bull) issued on June 5, 1442 and adds] “the confiscated property of Jews […] can be used for the expedition against the Saracens. […]” [Researcher’s note: Since the church’s war against Islam required a large amount of capital, the church resorted to all sorts of schemes to appropriate land and property in order to advance their mission.]
