“Writ” of Emperor/King Ferdinand I [Present-day Czech Republic; Holy Roman Empire/House of Habsburg]: “Ferdinand I informs Archduke Ferdinand that he has extended the deadline for a few more Jews to stay in the Kingdom of Bohemia in response to the Archduke’s 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. It was drafted and signed in Augsburg. The permission to stay longer was only extended to individual Jews and only temporarily. All other Jews were required to leave the land.]
