Eight edicts issued by the king of Sweden (Kunglig Majestät - King in Council) permitting Jews to settle in Sweden, and listing their rights and limitations. Stockholm: Kongl. Tryckeriet, 1782-1815. Swedish.
In 1782, about a century after the Jews had been expelled from Sweden, King Gustav III issued an edict allowing Jews to return and live in three cities: Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Norrköping. This was the beginning of the Jewish community in Sweden, the largest of the Jewish communities in Scandinavia, which exists to this day. These edicts, published in the decades close to the Jews' arrival to Sweden, document their lives, rights and limitations at that early period.
Among the edicts: edict from May 27, 1782, allowing Jews to return to settle in Sweden for the first time in a century; an edict from May 6, 1790, forbidding Jews to trade in silver or gold; edict dated February 8, 1802, forbidding Jews and Italians to travel throughout the kingdom on business without special permission; edict dated July 13, 1807, concerning study and services for Jews involved in retail or wholesale commerce; edict dated August 31, 1815, forbidding additional Jews to settle in the kingdom, except for special cases. (Not in NLI); and more.
A detailed list will be sent upon request.
Eight edicts: a seven-page booklet, and seven leaflets folded in half (four pages per leaflet). Size and condition vary. Average size: approx. 20 cm. Good-fair overall condition. Pen inscriptions on some of the leaves. Stains and creases. Tears, open tears and pinholes at the edges of the leaves and along the spine. Folding marks to some. One of the edicts may be missing two leaves.

Thirty-six photographs documenting the German and Ottoman armies during World War I in Palestine. Jerusalem, Jaffa, Tiberias, Nablus, Gaza and elsewhere, ca. 1916-1918.
Presumably these photographs belonged to a soldier from the German unit Kraftwagen-Park 505, dispatched to the Middle East in 1916, which fought alongside the Ottoman Army in the battle for Palestine. The photographs show, among others: Ahmed Djemal Pasha and Ismail Enver Pasha (two of the "Three Pashas", leaders of the Ottoman Empire in World War I), on a visit to an army camp near Beersheba, in 1916; Ahmed Djemal Pasha watching an aerial demonstration by the German Air Force from a roof in Ramla, in the company of Turkish and German officers; two photographs of Erich von Falkenhayn, commander of the German forces in Palestine, reviewing a military formation; a British tank taken by Turkish soldiers during the second battle for Gaza in 1917; soldiers in a trench on the outskirts of Gaza; three photos of a military funeral parade held for two German officers in the streets of Jerusalem; a German orchestra in the ruins of Capernaum; German officers with Templer settlers and Arab laborers in an orchard of the Sharona colony; a formal dinner of the unit's officers at a casino; and photos of landscapes, local residents and scenes of Palestine – the Church of the Nativity in the snow, Tiberias beaches, a camel caravan, and more.
The collection contains two photographs that were not taken in Palestine: one from the Taurus Mountains in Turkey, and one from the village of Bozanti in Syria (apparently taken on the unit's way to Palestine).
The photographs are mounted on thick paper leaves and titled in English and German on notes mounted on the leaves (some torn). Two of the photos are numbered in the plate.
Photos: approx. 14X9.5 cm to 17X12 cm. Condition varies. Good overall condition. Stains and blemishes. A number of photographs are in fair condition, with tears and open tears to margins. Worming to two photographs.
