Manifest by Friedrich II, King of Prussia (1740-1786) concerning a regulation of 1774, about supervising education of converted Jews. In the manifest appears an instruction for priests to check thoroughly whether the candidate is a "righteous person" and impeccable, and if necessary to turn to court and investigate their criminal past and the honesty of the children. Children would not be accepted to Christian studies unless their parents prove that they have no connection whatsoever to the Jewish religion. German, in Gothic script. Leaf 33.5 cm. Good condition.
