Rare Document Concerning Jews of Vienna
During the 18th century, restrictions imposed on the residential rights of the “tolerated subjects” prevented the growth of the Jewish population of Vienna. There were 452 Jews living in the city in 1752; a little more than two decades later in 1777, their number had risen to a mere 520 souls. See EJ XVI, col. 123
