The sultan's firman is delivered to Montefiore…

November 1840 CE

The sultan's firman is delivered to Montefiore on November 7, and a copy is subsequently provided to the Hakham Bashi.

Citing the judgment in the Rhodes case, the decree states that a careful examination of Jewish beliefs and "religious books" have demonstrated that "the charges brought against them… are pure calumny. The Jewish nation shall possess the same privileges as are granted to the numerous other nations who submit to our authority. The Jewish nation shall be protected and defended."
