“Writ” of King Ferdinand I [Kingdom of Bohemia/Habsburg Monarchy; Present-day Austria; Czech Republic, etc.]: “King Ferdinand announces to all Jews in the Kingdom of Bohemia, that he has revoked/nullified their letters of protection/escort (‘Geleitbrief’)* which he had issued to them and orders them to move out of the lands of the Bohemian crown within a year.” [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. *A ‘Geleitbrief’ was a letter that allowed the holder of it to live and move freely in the territory for which it was issued. This document was drafted and signed in Vienna.]
