Rescript, issued by Emmerich Joseph von Breidbach zu Bürresheim, Archbishop of Mainz [Present-day Germany]: “Regarding the local Jewry and their walks on Sundays and holidays, it is hereby ordered that on those days, Jews shall be prohibited from frequently walking to and fro all across the city, as well as across the bridges and public walkways. However, those departing from the city, as well as those in need of a doctor, barber or pharmacy shall be allowed to come and go, as needed for that purpose.”
