Summary

The General Charter of Jewish Liberties, known as the Statute of Kalisz was issued by Boleslaw the Pious, September 8, 1264. The Statute granted wide-ranging and unprecedented legal rights to the Jews of Poland, including freedom of worship, and the right to trade and travel. Arthur Szyk reminded both Poles and Jews in the 20th century of this historic precedent through his seminal work, a visual interpretation of the text Statute of Kalisz (published in 1932), executed in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript; the 45 paintings were exhibited widely in Poland. This Polish and French title page or frontispiece shows Casimir III the Great enthroned.
