註釋

Analyzes regulations concerning the Jews issued by Austrian rulers beginning with Duke Friedrich der Streitbare in 1244, with the intention of encouraging Jewish financial activity in Austria. The rulers saw in their protection of the Jews a basic exercise of their sovereignty, and made minimal concessions to canon law or to objections of the citizenry who feared Jewish competition. In 1420, however, Duke Albrecht V, incited by churchmen at the University of Vienna, perpetrated the "Geserah": all the Jews were arrested, some received baptism and others were burned at the stake; the remaining Jews were expelled. Discusses the causes for this sudden change of policy. Suggests that it was mainly due to suspicions that Jews were supporting the Hussite insurrection. Allegations of Host desecration were a pretext enabling the Duke to put wealthy Jews to death and take possession of their property.
