The Decree of 321: Cologne, the Emperor and Jewish History

Beschreibung

In 321, the Roman emperor Constantine issued a far-reaching decree in response to a request from Cologne: in the future it would be possible to appoint Jews to the city’s governing body, or curia, and so to public office. This decree is the earliest surviving document indicating the existence of a Jewish community north of the Alps.
