Emperor Ferdinand (1793-1875) was not capable of ruling his empire due to mental deficiency, and in 1848, abdicated in favor of his nephew, Franz Joseph I. This publication ever so gently refers to these unsettled aspects of leadership (see p. 3 and p. 8), yet asserts nonetheless that the Jewish community stands fast in support.
