Ordinance, issued by the government of the Kingdom of Bohemia [Present-day Czech Republic]: “Even though in Bohemian and Austrian hereditary lands, Jews are generally excluded from the purchase of state-owned or other public buildings; nevertheless, His Majesty has allowed to make an exception to this rule, in places where Jews are already tolerated: when, in particular, a wealthy Jew wishes to utilize such a building for the operation of a necessary and useful factory and finds himself able to undertake such a business; whereas, at the same time, it is ordered that in every single occurrence of this kind, confirmation of the pending sale must be obtained from the highest authorities.”
