STATUTE OF KALISZ 7 72 FIGURE 15
NUMBER 2.
The artist again paints the scene of an oath in a court of law, this time made by a Christian.
Illustration of article 4 of the Statute of Kalisz: "When a Jew, without the presence of witnesses, says
that he returned the Christian's pledge as a loan to the Christian, then the Christian is able to clear
himself in this matter through his own oath."
Numerous initials, with a portrait of a nobleman in the center of the composition; the figure is
closed with an image of a peasant working in a field.
From the collection of the Józef Piłsudski Library (WiMBP) in Łódź.
