Liste de MM. les députés de la Nation Juive, Convoqués à Paris par ordre de Sa Majesté l'Empereur et Roi
This 18-page pamphlet, published in Paris by Dabin in 1806, is the official booklet issued by the French Empire summoning an assembly of Jewish notables. It contains an imperial decree from May 30, 1806, convening the assembly on July 15, 1806, and imposing a moratorium on debts owed to Jewish moneylenders by Christian farmers. The pamphlet also includes a detailed list of over one hundred delegates, grouped by department, summoned to the assembly. These delegates represented a cross-section of French Jewry, including prominent rabbis, community leaders, and philanthropists from various Jewish movements. The assembly's purpose was to address questions posed by Napoleon regarding the integration of Jews into French society.
