summary
The wording of both the Venetian and Milanese edicts is virtually identical, the legislation having been handed down by the central authority in Vienna. Each edict requires a Jew, when taking a legal Oath to pronounce a prescribed formula while placing his right hand upon the Torah (the portion from the Book of Exodus, chap. XX, v. 7: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain…”)
Each: pp. (4) + integral blanks. Large print. Folio
