STRASBOURG] Unterthänigst-gehorsamste Vorstellung der gesammten Gemeinde der Stadt Strassburg an die Rationalversammlung.
12 pages in-4, last page blank. S.l. (Strasbourg), Le Roux, s.d. (before 1792).
This petition by citizens of the city of Strasbourg against the admission of Alsatian Jews to the rank of citizens in Strasbourg details the arguments that would justify this refusal. In their view, it was neither because they had a different religion, nor because of accusations of ritual crimes, that they should be denied citizenship. Indeed, the text states: "All French citizens are equal in our eyes, and have the same rights and duties to fulfill". This is an important document in the history of relations and prejudice between Jews and non-Jews. 
Uncommon. A fine copy.
