Rescript, issued by the Danish Chancellery to the Magistrate at Copenhagen [Present-day Denmark]: “The Jewish families living in the parish of the [Church of the] Holy Spirit must be compelled by the magistrates to make semi-annual payments to the clergy of the church and its servants, so that those Jews who own a house or a farm pay the sum of 2 to 4 imperial thalers annually; and those who rent rooms for themselves, from 3 marks to 2 imperial thalers. This money is to be collected by the Jewish elders twice a year, one half every Easter, and the other half every St. Michael’s Day, and then handed over to the bishop, to be shared between the priests and the church officers.”
