Ordnung, nach welcher sich die, in den Furstlich-Oranien-Nassauischen Landen befindlichen Schutzjuden zu verhalten haben
This 1770 first edition folio, published in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague), is a codification of the legal rights of Dutch Jews to engage in business and commerce. Commissioned by William V, Prince of Orange-Nassau, the 22-page document, printed in Fraktur type, details in 55 articles the permissible trades, business enterprises, and contracts for protected Jews ("Schutzjuden") in the Netherlands. The text highlights the lack of previous unified standards regarding the status of protected Jews within the provinces of Orange and Nassau. A notable article (25) addresses the legal right of Jews to own one, but no more than one, home.
