“Rescript” issued by Prince-Elector (‘Kurfürst’) Johann Philipp von Schönborn [Electorate of Mainz; Present-day Germany]: “Since we […] cannot help but notice and perceive that the accursed [co]habitation of Jews among Christians is occasionally annoying (‘hin und wieder sehr ärgerlich ist’), and that it causes inconveniences and in-opportunities (‘ungelegenheiten’) [and since] this is not permitted in any other place where Jews live among Christians […] and so too, we wish to order and instruct our authorities to prevent such ruinous harms and disadvantages and to discontinue/stop (‘abstellen’) this annoying and damaging living-arrangements of Jews among Christians […].” [Researcher’s note: This Rescript also known as “Ordinance of Hadamar” (‘Hadmar’sche Verordnung’) contains 17 sections and is several pages long; it has been abbreviated to fit the allocated space.
