Rescript, issued by the Danish Chancellery to the Copenhagen Chief of Police [Present-day Denmark]: “Regarding the Jews, who shall not build any synagogue in Copenhagen, except in the distant future, and who have hitherto been at liberty to hold their worship in all silence in certain rooms furnished in a different, ordinary building inhabited by themselves or others: for their presumptuous self-righteousness, they shall pay to the Church of Our Savior 800 imperial thalers — since they did, without permission, start to build a synagogue in Copenhagen.” [Researcher’s note: The first actual synagogue in Copenhagen would not be inaugurated until 1833.]
