“Decree” of the Senate of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg [Present-day Germany; Free Imperial City of Nuremberg/Holy Roman Empire]: “After the attempts of the highly-commendable [City] Council of the Holy Roman City Nurnberg […] to mitigate the illegal usury and fraud of Jews on numerous occasions [… have failed …] we have found it necessary to issue a renewed ordinance regarding Jewish-usury […] and do not permit any local citizen to accept a [debt] from a Jew [… and to only accept those from authorized businessmen and tradesmen …] Jews are to especially refrain from loaning money to minor, seniors and those who are under the power of a guardianship or inexperienced citizens without the knowledge and permission of the local authorities [… or to do this …] among themselves outside of the cattle-markets that are permitted to them […] any such contract entered into in the future shall be considered unlawful and void.
