“Rescript” addressed to the Secret Council of Cologne by the [river] Spree [Present-day Germany]: “For the time being, only two Jews may settle in Berlin. […] Even though, We recall that We have graciously ordered that protection letters be granted to 10 Jews to settle in Our resident-cities Berlin and Cologne […] We now want to limit these to only two Jews for the time being for certain reasons […]” [Researcher’s note: Even though this writ is not signed, it was very likely issued by Maximilian Henry of Bavaria.]
