Of particular interest are the bulls concerning the Council of Trent (nos. 4, 56 and 57), usury (nos. 9 and 17), the Hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia (nos. 41 and 42), the Order of St. Stephen (nos. 44 and 46), St. Peter's Basilica (no. 42), arquebuses regulation (no. 47), the University of Hoteliers of Rome (no. 49), the Inquisition (no. 54), the German-Hungarian College of Rome (no. 78), sumptuary laws, and the prohibition of heretical books (no. 1). But above all the collection gathers most of the bulls against the Jews issued by Paul III (1534-1549), Julius III (1550-1555), Marcellus II (April 9-May 1 1555), Paul IV, Pius IV and Pius V, including the one responsible for the burning of the Talmud and the one that established the ghettos (nos. 1, 7, 26, 65, and 69).

First edition of this collection of papal bulls, which includes several directed against the Jews, most notably the bull responsible for the burning of the Talmud and that confining the Jews to a ghetto.
The collection contains in fact all the bulls against the Jews issued by Paul III, Julius III, Marcellus II, and Paul IV, including the infamous Cum nimis absurdum of 1556, which established the ghettos, prohibited more than one synagogue in a town, forbade contact between jews and Christians, and imposed on jews distinctive clothing (cf. K. Stow, Catholic Thought and Papal Jewry Policy 1555-1593, New York, 1977, passim).
These are the texts regarding the Jews included in the collection:
1) Quod ludei, cacterisque infideles ad agnitionem catholicac fidei venicetes bona patrimonialia […], Paul III, 21 March 1542 (ll. 97v-98r);
2) Privilegia et Facultates Hebracis concessae, Julius III, 14 June 1561 (l. 115);
3) Decretum DD. Inquisitorum hereticae pravitatis quod comburi debeant omnes Libri Thalmud Hebraeorum, Julius III, 12 August 1553 (ll. 121v-122r);
4) Contra Hebracos retinentes libros in quibus alquid contra fidem catholicam notetur, vel scribatur, Julius III, 29 May 1554 (l. 122);
5) De Prorogatione Subsidii Trecentorum Millium Scutorum, & Quartae partis fructum Congregationum regularium, ac Vigesimarum Hebracorum ad Triennium […], Marcellus II, 14 April 1555 (ll. 125v-126);
6) De solutione singulis Sinagogis, etiam demolitis, vel ad unam redactis, vel redigendis imposita, &e per Hebracos Archiconfraternitati Cathecuminorum facienda, Paul IV, 23 March 1555 (Part II, ll. 1r-2r);
7) Bulla contra Iudaeos aedita […] Cum nimis absurdum […], Paul IV, 12 July 1565 (Part II, l. 8);
8) Bando sopra gli Hebrei, de l'ordine che hanno da tenere, Paul IV, 24 July 1565 (Part II, ll. 8v-9r).
It was during the Counter-Reformation in Italy that the Church's centuries-long series of attacks ou the Talmud had the most far-reaching consequences. In this reactionary climate, a quarrel broke out between rival Christian printers of Hebrew books in Venice. One of them, with the connivance of certain apostates, denounced the works produced by his competitor as containing matter offensive to the Catholic Church. This devdoped into a wholesale attack on Hebrew literature. After a council of cardinals had examined the matter, the pope issued a decree (August 1553) designating the Talmud and related works as blasphemous and condemning them to be burned. On September 9th, 1553, the Jewish New Year, a huge pyre was set up in Rome's Campo de' Fori containing Hebrew books that had been seized from Jewish home. Subsequently the Inquistion ordered all rulers, bishops, and inquistors throughout Italy to take similar action. Throughout the remainder of the 16th-century, a complete edition of the Talmud could not be found anywhere in Italy (cf. S. Liberman Mintz & G.M. Goldstein, eds., Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein, New York, 2005, p. 228).
Also noteworthy are the ordinances dedicated to reforming Roman women's customs, written in Italian (Clemens VII, 1532, ll. 78–80r), as well as those prohibiting heretical and Lutheran books (Julius III, 1550, ll. 108v–109).

“The conversion policy of the Church marked by a real ‘obsession' […] promoted the creation of other spaces of segregation, such as, for instance, the house for Jewish converts to Christianity in Rome, the Casa dei Catecumeni, established in 1542. The creation of separate spaces within the territory of the Papal States represented the perfect solution between expulsion and conversion. In this way, ‘Jews were admitted and tolerated, especially in Rome, but while waiting for their conversion, they were temporarily expelled from everyday life in the city' ” (M. Mampieri, “Living Under the Evil Pope”: Paul IV and the Jews in the Chronicle by Benjamin Neḥemiah ben Elnathan from Civitanova Marche, Dissertation theses, Università degli Studi “Roma Tre”-Institut für Jüdische Philosophie und Religion Universität Hamburg, 2017, p. 55).

Pope Pius IV's breve Universis et singulis is dated 8 August 1561 and is signed by Cesare Glorieri, secretary of the papal briefs.
With the bull Cum nimis absurdum of 14 July 1555 Pope Paul IV revoked all the rights of the Jewish community and placed religious and economic restrictions on Jews in the Papal States, renewed anti-Jewish legislation and subjected Jews to various degradations and restrictions on their personal freedom. The bull also established the Roman Ghetto and required the Jews of Rome, who had existed as a community since before Christian times and numbered about 2,000 at the time, to live in it. The Ghetto was a walled quarter with three gates that were locked at night. Under the bull, Jewish males were required to wear a pointed yellow hat, and Jewish females a yellow kerchief.  The bull also subjected Jews to various other restrictions such as a prohibition on property ownership and practising medicine among Christians. Jews were allowed to practice only unskilled jobs, as rag men, secondhand dealers or fish mongers. They could also be pawnbrokers. Paul IV's successor, Pius IV, partially rectified the previous measures and showed a milder and more humane approach to the Jews.
“The Jews breathed more freely under Pius. It was due to his intervention that Emperor Ferdinand canceled the edict of expulsion which had been issued against the Bohemian Jews. He bettered the condition of the Jews in Rome and in the Pontifical States by changing and in part revoking the restrictions imposed by Paul IV., and by granting them the following privileges: to lay aside the Jews' badge when traveling, if they remained only for one day in any place; to enlarge the ghetto, and to open shops outside of it; and to acquire real estate beyond the ghetto limits to the value of 1,500 gold ducats […] Pius ordered the restoration of account-books and communal records which had been confiscated, and pardoned all the trespasses committed by the Roman Jews against Paul's decrees except murder, counterfeiting, mockery of Christianity, and lese-majesty. He even granted the Jews permission to print the Talmud, though under a different name. His successor, Pius V., followed in Paul IV.'s footsteps” (Jewish Encyclopedia, online).
“What is clear is that both Jewish authors agree on the mercy of the new pope, who was not only Pius because of his name. Although he did not abolish Cum nimis absurdum as the Jews wished, Pius IV diminished the strictness of the measures contained in the bull, beginning with some concessions. For example, as remembered by Benjamin, ‘a sign of his compassion' was that the Jews were allowed to wear black hats (like the Christians) while they were walking in the streets. This concession was the object of a document (breve) dated August 8, 1561 and reiterated by the bull Dudum a felicis, issued on February 27, 1562. Besides giving permission not to wear the distinctive sign, this last provision enabled the Jews to buy and own property (though with some limitations) and to hold workshops outside the ghetto. Moreover, it was established that rent paid by the Jews to Christian owners should remain unchanged, so that they could not take advantage of their tenants. All the limitations concerning foodstuffs contained in Cum nimis absurdum were suspended” (M. Mampieri, “Living Under the Evil Pope”: Paul IV and the Jews in the Chronicle by Benjamin Neḥemiah ben Elnathan from Civitanova Marche, Dissertation theses, Università degli Studi “Roma Tre”-Institut für Jüdische Philosophie und Religion Universität Hamburg, 2017, p. 157).

Folio. [2] leaves. Collation: [A]2. Woodcut arms of Cardinal Camerlengo Vitellozzo Vitelli and large historiated initial on the first page. Issued on 20 November 1565. Some browning.

Extremely rare first edition of this bull concerning the activities of the Jewish bankers in the papal states. The 36 rules, written in Italian, which the bankers had to display in their banks, regulated licenses, interest rates (up to a maximum of 24%), how pawns should be handled (including how to store clothes properly to protect them against moths and rats), court matters, thefts, the use of accounting books, etc.
“[…] as long as the popes continued to license Jewish loan banks, they had to safeguard the bankers' privileges. Toward this end, jurisdiction over banking affairs was placed in the hands of the chief papal financial officer, the Cardinal Camerarius. Debtors involved in litigations with Jews tried to circumvent the Camerarius by appealing before alternate jurisdictions. The Camerarius responded by periodically issuing mandates of ‘Inhibition,' prohibiting anyone from interfering in Jewish banking activities, including the Papal Vicar in Rome (who otherwise did possess jurisdiction over Jewish affairs). As the records of the Camerarius' court show, he also ensured that contracts for debts owed to Jews were regularly enforced. On one occasion even a Duke was jailed and his property distrained. The result was a paradox. Consistent enforcement of their contracts gave the Jews legal mastery over their Christian debtors. This was precisely the kind of situation that the medieval canons, the bull, Cum nimis absurdum, and all of the sixteenth-century conversionary tracts bitterly decried. In one matter connected with lending, the directives of Cum nimis were carried out to the letter. No document addressed Jewish creditors by an honorific title, not even the simple Messer (sir). Christian debtors invariably benefited from an appropriate title. In name, at least, Jews were never conceded mastery over Christians. But the matter of titles is of questionable significance. In decisive areas, such as that of legal procedure, the Jews did not suffer from second-class rights. When the debtor was a Jew, the legal forms and procedures followed were the same as those used for Christians. Similarly, the permits exempting both Christian and Jewish merchants from road tolls and customs duties are identically worded. Jews also had free access to the courts, including when they sought extensions of theirprivileges. And here, the results could be truly unexpected” (K.R. Stow, The Papacy and the Jews: Catholic Reformation and Beyond, in: “Jewish History”, vol. 6, nos. 1-2, 1992, p. 268).

It contains the following Pius V's bulls on the Jews: Bando di non dare fastidio alli Hebrei, issued on 10 April 1566 (p. 15); Bulla S.D.N.D. Pii divina providentia Papae V super confirmatione, ac revalidatione Bullae olim a Sanctae me. Paulo Papa IIII contra Iudaeos editae, issued on 19 April 1566 (pp. 21-24); Sanctiss. D.N. Pii Papae V Praecptum de Iudaeorum exterminatione ex omni dominio temporali S.R.E. & subditorum, praeter Romam, & Anconam, issued on 27 February 1568 (pp. 127-128).
Pius V was “the pontiff who reinforced the dire edicts of Paul IV (1555-1559) and, then, in 1569, went further by expelling Jews from all parts of the Papal State, save Rome and Ancona […] Outside of the Papal State itself, Pius's policies did not always succeed; we see this clearly with regard to the Jews. Romanus Pontifex, of 19 April 1566, extended Paul IV's decree Cum nimis absurdum (which it cites verbatim), throughout all Catholic, or at least all Italian, realms, followed by Cum nos nuper of 19 January 1567, whose subject was the obligatory sale of Jewish private property or its devolution to a domus cathecumenorum or a monte di pietà, should the Jews not sell the property themselves. But these new bulls were not always applied. Or they were applied only years later […] The Jews of Rome thus had to cope with a permanent state of ambivalence, which was rooted in the already mentioned oxymoron of repression tempered by a degree of permissiveness. Jews could maintain their community, their methods of selfcontrol, their daily and family lives, and most importantly, that part of their economy – highly restricted as it had been from the time of Paul IV – that allowed some breathing room, namely, lending at interest, the income from which had a way of trickling down to benefit more than just the lenders themselves (at least until 1682 and the closing of Rome's Jewish banks, when near universal poverty ensued). But they had also been expelled, crowded together in a tiny precinct, and put under the thumb of a single (Inquisitional) overseer […] This ambivalent policy, the desire to repress Jews until they abandoned Judaism, paralleled by the obligation to observe limits, would remain in effect until the Roman Ghetto fell in 1870” (K. Stow, More than meets the eye: Pius V and the Jews, in: “Dominikaner und Juden: Personen, Konflikte und Perspektiven vom 13. bis zum 20. Jahrhundert”, E. Füllenbach & G. Miletto, eds., Munich-Boston, 2015, pp. 375, 378, and 392-393).
