"(In 1555 Pope Paul IV) issued his bull 'Cum nisis absurdum' ... which reenacted remorselessly against the Jews all the restrictive ecclesiastical legislation hitherto only intermittently enforced. This comprised the segregation of the Jews in a special quarter, henceforth called the ghetto ... This initiated the ghetto period in Rome, and continued to govern the life of Roman Jewry for more than 300 years. There were periods of relaxation e. g., in the pontificate of Pius IV (1559-65)" (Encycl. Judaica [1.A.] XIV, 249). - Gering fleckig; obere Außenecke mit alter Foliierung.
