ber die brgerlichen Verhltnisse der Juden in Preuen

The road to full legal equality was a long one for the Jews of Prussia. The focus of this study is on the history of conflict and dialogue between representatives of the Jewish community and Prussian administrative authorities. By examining the history of this discourse, the study casts light on the limitations and possibilities of tolerance in what ultimately proved to be a successful historical negotiation, culminating in the Prussian "Emancipation Edict" of 1812.
