Detailed
Description		    Community commerce rules for Florence in Italian with the oath of the Florence Bet Din in Hebrew condemning anyone who transgresses the rules. The rules set fees for sellers and conditions of sale to be observed by all. These rules were periodically renewed and altered to keep pace with political and economic conditions. From the End of the 16th Century, the legislation of 1571 restricted Jewish trade to second-hand goods and strictly enforced the ghetto system. Some Jews nevertheless succeeded in developing commercial activity. A handful of the wealthy lived outside the ghetto. In general the position of the Jews was more favorable than their legal status warranted. Certain civic rights were conferred on the Jews by Grand Duke Leopold I (1765–90), including the right to vote for the municipal council (1778). When widespread popular disturbances broke out in 1790 against the reforms introduced by the ruler, the ghetto was attacked.
