WHITE JEW-BOOKS, OR JEWISH WHITE BOOKS

A friend asks:

Heb jij wel eens gehoord van de "Weisse Judenbücher"?
Het zou iets te maken moeten hebben met de rechtspraak in tTsjecho-Slowakije in de jaren 1600-1750.
[Have you ever heard of the "White Jew Books"? It has something to do with the justice system in CzeckoSlovakia in the years 1600 - 1750.]


I've never heard of this subject.

But you, my readers, well might have. Or leastways have a clue where to look.

Please advise.

Much thanks.

Judenbuch - googling the term seems to indicate this was a document written up by christian authorities that recorded transactions with Jews.

I have no idea what "weisse" has to do with it.
