Detailed
Description |
|
Der Juden zu Franckfurt Stattiskeit und Ordunung (41 pp) is exclusively devoted to setting out the Statutes (Stattigkeiten) imposed upon the Jews of Frankfurt. The title page has a ring in the center, in some copies colored yellow. Jews were required by law to wear a yellow circle on their clothing whenever they ventured forth from the Ghetto. On page 8 there are engravings of two types of hats the male Jews of Frankfurt were obligated to wear. Publication of this work was a contributing factor in the infamous Fettmilch Uprising on August 5th, 1614. Led by Vincent Fettmilch, a guild leader, the rioters pillaged the Frankfurt Ghetto and order was not restored until the Emperor himself intervened. Ultimately, on March 10th 1616, Vincent and six of his collaborators were hung and quartered. The Jews of Frankfurt annually celebrated the day of their salvation as "Purim Winz" (Purim of Vincent, i.e. Fettmilch). The Jews were caught between Senate of Frankfurt and the Guilds. In 1612, Fettmilch had petitioned the Emperor, claiming the Senate favored the Jews. Over the next 2 years he continued to agitate against the senate and the Jews. |
