- Abstract
The article discusses the end of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I's toleration of Judaism in Germany and Austria. The alleged goal of Maximilian's policies of extracting tax revenue from his Jewish subjects is examined, Maximilian's treatment of Jews is contrasted with that of his predecessor and emperor Friedrich III, and the financial costs of various expulsions of Jews are analyzed. The assessment of taxes on Jewish citizens is described, conflict between Christianity and Judaism is examined, and efforts by Maximilian's court to refute lawyer Johannes Reuchlin's recommendation against the destruction of confiscated Jewish books and writings is discussed.
