Includes index.
leaves 1-6: copy of a petition addressed to the Doge Aloysio Mocenico in Venice by the "baiulus" or bailiff and community of Corfu on Sept. 14, 1572. In this petition Christian officials appeal on behalf of the Jewish community concerning the decree of expulsion issued by the Venice authorities. The Jewish community had already appealed to the doge before, but a negative reply had been given on June 19, 1572. The petitioners argue on historical and economic grounds for an exemption of the Jews of Corfu. The Christian delegation also sent the Jewish representatives Manahem Mazza, Giosef Carton and Menahem de Consolo to obtain a repeal of this decree. The petition is signed by the bailiff, Francesco Gritti, Batta Foscarini, and Geronimo Diedo. Additional signatures affixed on Oct. 20, 1572 by six other officials.
