Manuscript – letter from Ernst Carl Gotthelf von Kiesenwetter, governor of Upper Lusatia, Saxony, addressed to various officials in the region. Bautzen, Saxony, 1809. German.
Manuscript (three separate, folded sheets of paper). The manuscript begins with a letter from the governor of the Upper Lusatia region, Ernst Carl Gotthelf von Kiesenwetter. In his letter, von Kiesenwetter informs various officials in the region (counts, priest, mayors and council members) of the decision of the king of Saxony to accord an exemption from Jewish Taxes (Jüdischen Abgaben) to Jews from Holland and Westphalia who reside in the kingdom of Saxony and are bearers of the required certificates and authorizations. The letter specifies that the decision was reached following the requests of the kings of Holland and Westphalia.
Von Kiesenwetter stresses in his letter the distinction between Jews from Holland and Westphalia, who are residing in Saxony to participate and trade in the Leipzig and Naumburg fairs, and the unregulated wandering of Jews in the region, who are not exempt from Jewish taxes. He instructs these officials to take the necessary measures against beggars and vagabonds – the first time they are caught they should be warned and expelled, and the second time, penalized.
The rest of the booklet contains two additional letters from von Kiesenwetter, pertaining to various regional administrative matters.
[3] folded leaves (written on both sides). 33.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Horizontal fold line. Stains. Closed and open tears (affecting text).
