“Legal Decision” of the Citizens/Community of New-Town Prague [Present-day Czech Republic; Kingdom of Bohemia]: “[…] Jews may not lend anyone [money] except on pledges […]; they may not charge higher interests than those ordered by the king [… Jews] may not participate at Christian markets [… they may not] peddle with clothing items […].” [Researcher’s note: These legal requirements directed at Jews were issued in response to an admonition from the king. The above is a translation of a German summary of the original Czech text both of which can be found in the cited source.]
