summary

This slim tract is a collection of two Imperial decrees barring Jews from the Bavarian city of Nuremberg. The first decree was promulgated by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I (1459-1519) and is here renewed by Emperor Maximillian II (1527-1576). After recording a litany of anti-Jewish accusations, the Decree reinforces municipal prohibitions against a Jewish presence in Nuremberg, transgressors to be heavily fined. See S.W. Baron, A Social and Religious History of the Jews, Vol. IV, p. 216
