Deals with the method of taxation and representation of the Jewish community. Paragraph 25 limits the amount of funds to indigent brides to 25 scudi. Likewise, par. 26 warns against entering a name into the list of the needy without the prior approval of the Council. The book ends with a “Cherem Chamur” [Severe Ban] against those who would deliberately violate the Regulations, signed by the Rabbi of Mantua, Israel Gedaliah Cases, M.D. These regulations will be in effect for three years from March 1783 through February 1786
