An anti-Semitic poster stating restrictions on movement and trade on Christian holidays. Italy, 1769. Signed in print in the name of Baron Friedrich Karl.
As part of the tightening of the Christian dogma and the granting of valid powers to the church, in the decree before us restrictions were announced on the Jews on the days of the Christian holidays. The regulations state that on Sundays and Christian holidays, the Jews will be prohibited from engaging in any public activity such as sleigh rides, performances, dancing and singing in public, and gatherings of any kind are prohibited. It was also determined that the Jews will be completely prohibited from engaging in trade, the Jewish shops will be closed on the days of the Christian holidays, and only shops selling essential items will be opened, but the seller will do so inside the shop, and the seller is prohibited from displaying his goods in the front facing the public domain, including shops selling bread and essential products. It is also written that on these days Jews will not be allowed to transport flour from the flour station, the streets of the Jews will be closed, and no contracts will be made between Jews and non-Jews on these days. The expected punishment for violating the regulations: boycott.
