“Ordinance” of the aldermen/presiding jurors, Lords, and community elders of Kutná Hora/Kutna Hora (‘Kuttenberg’) [Present-day Czech Republic; Kingdom of Bohemia]: “The aldermen/presiding jurors, Lords, and community elders of Kutná Hora/Kutna Hora (‘Kuttenberg’) decide that Jews may be present in their city only during market (days) and court days, and that they must go home immediately after court is adjourned. They may not store anything with any of the denizens and they may not spend the night in the city. If a Jew loans money to a wife without the knowledge and consent of her husband or to an orphaned child without a lordly approval […] he may lose the sum. Jews who violate this ordinance must stay away/avoid the city forever and will not be pardoned with any intercession.” [Researcher’s note: The above is a translation of a German summary of the original Czech text both of which can be found in the cited source.]
