“Governmental Ordinance” issued by the Austrian Government [Present-day Austria; Archduchy of Austria]: “The roaming around and trading (‘Tändeln’)* with clothing articles and other items/commodities in houses, vaults/business-stands (‘Gewölben’), open alleys (‘Gassen’), and streets is prohibited to the Jews with the real threat of an arrest and – depending on the circumstances – other corporal punishments. […]” [Researcher’s note: The same or similar prohibitions were issued via ordinances of July 13, 1787; July 4, 1788; November 21, 1788; governmental circular of March 1, 1790; royal court ordinance of May 13, 1792; governmental ordinance of May 25, 1792. *“Tändeln” appears to be a word combining both “Handel” and “Trödeln” into one and refers here to the act of roaming around in order to sell knick-knacks.]
