“Royal Court Decree” issued by the Austrian Royal Court [Present-day Austria]: “[…] The commercial-consensus (government agency) is to watch over and to stop the creation of secret and prohibited businesses (‘Unterhandlungen’)*, which means the businesses of Jews who are [currently] present in Vienna […and] the commissioner who arrives [there] from time to time is to watch over this […] and upon discovery [of a violation] to proceed with an investigation and confiscation of the goods […]” [Researcher’s note: *’Unterhandlungen’ are usually business transactions that require a middleman or a negotiator.]
