Ordinance, issued by Carl I, Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg [Present-day Germany]: “We hereby decree that the Jews who come to the fairs at Wolfenbüttel and bring wares with them, shall pay four reichthalers for this, whereas those who arrive without any goods on them, whether they are master or servant, shall pay one ducat species.” [Researcher’s note: In Braunschweig, 4 reichsthalers was equivalent to 1.5 ducats species.]
