But it has not always been this way. The term \u201cprivilege\u201d derives from Latin <i>privilegium<\/i>, a special law applying to a given individual or to a defined group of individuals \u2013 a restricted \u201csocial contract\u201d long before that term was invented by Rousseau. It sets reciprocal rights and duties of two parties entering into a formal relationship. Sometimes such contracts are symmetrical, often they are not; such asymmetry surely applies to the Jews\u2019 Privilege. In fact, the German term <i>Schutz- und Satzbrief<\/i> (letter of protection and obligations) provides a better characterization of the contract. <i>Schutz<\/i> means \u201cprotection,\u201d while Satz stands for rules of conduct and conditions. This contract offered a promise by the dominion to protect the Jews in return for the latter submitting to a set of special rules, restrictions, and obligations. It is the ultimate vestige of the earlier Imperial Servitude (<i>Kammerknechtschaft<\/i>), after it had been delegated to local rulers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-CA\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Standard\">The wording of the 1615 St\u00fchlingen <i>Schutz- und Satzbrief<\/i> would not rank highly in a literary contest. Various topics were thrown together helter-skelter, without a clear order, and phrased in nearly endless sentences without structure. To assist in the discussion to follow, and to maintain some internal thematic unity, the translated prose of the Jews\u2019 Privilege that follows has been broken down into individual, numbered paragraphs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the death of Erbmarschall, Count Konrad of Pappenheim, in 1603, his son Maximilian was invested as the new ruler in St\u00fchlingen.
