“Jewish-Ordinance” issued in Worms [Free Imperial City of Worms; Present-day Germany]: “[… Jews may not] sell or transfer their debts* (the debts they hold) to a foreign Jew or Christian (‘ire Schulden keinem außlendischen Juden oder Christen ver- kaufen oder ufftragen’). […]” [Researcher’s note: The term “ire Schulden” [= their debts] most like refers to the IOUs they hold and not to debts they owe themselves.]
