“Patent” of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I [Present-day Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy; Holy Roman Empire]: “[…] 17) Starting with the day this Patent is made public until the end of 1805, no Jew shall be permitted to trade (purchase and sell) with grain; those Jews, however, who are blessed with grain reserves, are to report these according to the manner described in this Patent, and to sell these by the end of August the latest or face the stipulated punishments. Should a Jew dare to act against this prohibition, he is to face the confiscation of [his] grain[-reserves], and should that no longer be available, its value in cash according to the directions outlines in §11 and §12; Christians, on the other hand, who dare to allow a Jew to trade with grain under the disguise of their name, shall be fined its equivalent in cash or receive corporal punishment or jail time in alignment with the [severity of the] crime.
