“Royal Decree” issued by Holy Roman Emperor Francis II [Present-day Austria, Germany]: “[…] The believers of the Israeli Religion are prohibited to peddle church vessels, Parments*, crucifixes, pictures of saints, or any item, which are used by the Catholic church during its services, or on the markets or flea-markets or junk-stalls or to purchase them in auctions.” [Researcher’s note: *Parments are liturgical robes and textiles, which are used during church services to furnish the place of worship.]
