Boleslaus V the Chaste, High Duke of…
1264 CE
Boleslaus V the Chaste, High Duke of Poland, promulgates legal protection for his Jewish subjects in 1264, including protection from the kidnapping and forcible baptism of Jewish children.
On August 16, 1264, Boleslaw grants the first written privilege to the Jews of Greater Poland (the Statute of Kalisz).
It regulates the judicial authority over the Jewish population, and Jewish credit and trading activity.
The comparatively liberal statute will serve as a basis for Jewish privileges in Poland until 1795.
