“Writ” of the City Council of Halle [Present-day Germany; Duchy of Magdeburg]: “[…Assur Marx* may retain the garden [house] under the condition …] that he may not rent/lease/offer (‘elocieren’)* it to anyone except to honest and unsuspicious Christians, and never to vagabonding/roaming (‘umschweifende’) and unprotected Jews […]” [Researcher’s note: *The purchasing of this garden was initially granted by the community to Assur Marx in exchange for two Thaler in interest as well as other considerable contributions.]
