Miscellany

In October of 1781,
Joseph II, Emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire and Regent of
the House of Hapsburg from
1780 to 1790, issued the
Edict of Toleration which granted
freedom of worship
for all in the realm,
regardless of religion.
Joseph Schaitberger's Sendbrief  
would, however, remain banned.
