Shetar

The first fasciculus will contain the shetars (Juden-schreinsbuch) preserved in the archives of Cologne, a similar publication to that prepared on behalf of the Anglo-Jewish Exhibition Committee.

Taken together, the coincident circumstances of the Jews' relation to the King, the then unique form of relief afforded them by their shetars, and certain peculiarities in the wording of the early writs all suggest that the Jews contributed in herertofore unexplained ways to the development of the early write of debt.

However, without presenting a shetar, A, not the heirs of B, had the burden to prove the presence of goods that belonged to him and the absence of a profit distribution.
