GASCON ROLLS. 

–––––♦––––– 

By C. TRICE MARTIN, F.S.A.

It was decided recently by the Executive Committee of the Jewish
Historical Society of England to print in its publications such original
documents as came in the way of any of its Members, so that they
might, in this way, be preserved and presented to the subscribers, in
the hope of their being found useful by any one writing on the history
of the English Jews.

A few such documents, as a first instalment, are printed here.
The first is a letter in French from the converts belonging to the
house founded by Henry III., to his son Edward I., asking that the
income granted by his father may be properly secured to them and that
a warden may be appointed to look after their interests. Some day,
perhaps, the answers of the King and the Chancellor to this petition
may be found, and printed in a future number.

The rest of the documents printed are all from the Gascon Rolls,
that is, the Rolls which contain entries and documents issued from the
Chancery, referring to the Duchy of Guienne and to Gascony while
these provinces still acknowledged an English Lord. Those of the
reign of Edward I. are all before the expulsion, and all show a desire
to treat the Jews with justice and even with favour, but the reason
appears in one of the extracts of 4th Oct., 9 Edw. I., 1281 (No. 5),
where the King says that he does not wish the Jews to be oppressed
with too heavy taxes, lest their number should diminish. They were,
of course, valuable as bankers for the commerce of the province. Also,
in answer to their complaints of being harassed by their Christian
neighbours on small grounds (No. 4), he orders the Seneschal of
Gascony and the Constable of Bordeaux to have their causes tried

by “good and lawful” Christians. He also gives up to the Jews of
Leetoure, a city in Gascony, a claim of £100 of Tours which he has
on them; but the consideration is not stated.

At the beginning of the reign of Edward II., after the expulsion
from England, an officer is appointed as judge of the Jews in Agen,
a town and district on the Garonne, south-west of Bordeaux. But
they had been formally expelled in the reign of Edward I., and in
4 Edw. II. (No. 10) orders were issued for the collection of the debts
of those who had left the country, to put into the King’s pocket. In
a few years many returned to try and collect their old debts, but in
7 Edw. II, a second mandate was issued for their expulsion (No. 12),
which, however, seems not to have been thoroughly acted upon, as it
had to be repeated some years after (Nos. 14, 15, 16).

The last document, dated in 1320, refers to a murder of the Jews
committed by a gang of brigands, very probably disbanded soldiers; but
the document does not speak of any punishment to the murderers, or
compensation to the families of those murdered, but merely commands
the Seneschal of Gascony to collect the goods of the murdered men for
the King’s use.

It is to be hoped that more documents of the same class may be
printed hereafter. The first document on the list is, it should be noted,
not from the Gascon Rolls.

JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. 

–––––––––––– 

REPORT, 1894-95. 

The Second Session of the Society has been marked by a
continuance of the widespread interest which was aroused by its
inauguration in 1893. The number of Ordinary Members is now
about 225.

The first volume of the Society’s Transactions, which was issued
in January 1894, has been favourably received both by Members and
the Press.

Arrangements have been completed for several future publica-
tions. The President has nearly ready for issue a volume of selected
writings, bearing on the return of the Jews, by Menasseh ben Israel.
This volume will be produced in facsimile, and will be adorned by an
etching of Rembrandt’s portrait of the great Amsterdam Rabbi, and a
facsimile of a petition presented to Cromwell by Menasseh in 1655 and
signed by him, and the leading Marranos in London at the time. The
Editor will add an Introduction. The Society has commissioned Mr. S.
van Straalen, of the British Museum, to make inquiries on certain
special points in Amsterdam, and expresses its thanks to him for kindly
undertaking the mission. At the same time researches have been
made in the Patent Rolls since the resettlement, and a complete list
of denizations of Jews in England to the end of the reign of George
IV. has been prepared without cost to the Society. The Society
regrets that it has been refused, for the present at least, access to the
Archives of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation in London.

Negotiations are pending for the issue, in conjunction with the
Seiden Society, of a volume of Jewish Plea Rolls.

Through (he kindness of Dr. Neubauer, of the Bodleian Library,
Oxford, the Society has arranged to purchase the MS. of the Onyx
Book,
which was left ready for publication by the late C. W.
Collins. This important Hebrew treatise is certainly one of the most
valuable remains of Jewish learning in England in the pre-expulsion
period, and it is hoped that the complete work will be published by
the Society at no distant date.

report.

In connection with these and other contemplated works, the
Society has resolved to create a Special Publication Fund, to which
donations are now invited. This Fund is designed for the purpose of
enabling the Society to produce volumes the cost of which could not
possibly be met out of its ordinary resources. Lack of funds has
prevented the Society from carrying out any ambitious lecturing
scheme outside its own meetings, but it has decided to give a small
subvention to the proposed University Extension Course which the
Council of that movement contemplates in the coming Autumn.

General Meetings of the Society were held in the Rooms of the
Maccabæaus, as follows :—

I.—Dec. 16th, 1894

munity.”

report of sub-committee.

183 

Report of Sub-Committee on the Relations between the
Jewish Historical Society of England and the Mac-
cabeans.

In accordance with the instructions conveyed in the Resolution
passed at the Meeting of the Council in June last, the Representatives
nominated by the Committee of the Maccabæans and by the Jewish
Historical Society of England met at the house of Prof. Meldola,
6, Brunswick-square, W.C., on Friday, February 23rd, 1894, and
having considered the question of a more intimate association of the
two Societies, they beg to report as follows :—

(1.) 

The Sub-Committee are of opinion that it is of importance
for the Maccabæans to be associated with, and to promote
in every practicable manner the development of any in-
tellectual movement in the Jewish Community.

(2.) 

The Sub-Committee, having considered the possibility of
amalgamation, have come to the conclusion that, in.conse-
quence of the different constitution of the two Societies,
no such amalgamation is possible

(3.) 

While recognising the impossibility of amalgamating, the
Sub-Committee are, nevertheless, of opinion that some
scheme of co-operation is possible, and might be carried
out to the advantage of both Societies. They therefore
recommend—

 

(a.). 

That four Delegates shall be nominated by the Committee
of the Maccabæans and elected by the Members at the
Annual General Meeting to serve on the Executive Com-
mittee of the Jewish Historical Society. The Delegates
thus nominated shall be Members of the Maccabæans
not serving on the Executive Committee of the Jewish
Historical Society at the time of their nomination

 

(b.)

The Sub-Committee also recommend that the Delegates
nominated and elected in accordance with the last clause,

 

184 

report of sub committee. 

 

 

 

shall be empowered to recommend to the Committee of
the Maccabæans the subvention by the latter Society
of such publications of the Jewish Historical Society,
other than the Transactions, as the Delegates may think
desirable.

 

(c.)

That such publications of the Jewish Historical Society as
are subventioned by the Maccabæans shall be at the
disposal of the Members of the latter Society on the
same terms as to the Members of the Jewish Historical
Society

 

(d.)

The Sub-Committee further recommend that the rooms in
the occupation of the Maccabæans shall be at the dis-
posal of the Jewish Historical Society on all occasions
that may be convenient.

 

(e.)

This arrangement shall be terminable at the discretion of
either governing body on giving three months’ notice.

Present at Meeting

Prof. Meldola (in Chair).
J. Jacobs.
H. Haldinstein.
L. Wolf.
I. Abrahams.

Approved also by the Rev. S. Singer.

These suggestions have been adopted by the Society and by the
Maccabæans.
