[De communione et conversatione Iudaeorum et Christianorum]

They can also choose an arbitrator, whose sentence the ordinary will execute. Thus, neither on their Sabbaths should they be drawn to judgment, nor should they draw others. Thus, neither are they to be disturbed in their other festivals, nor should their cemeteries be dug up on the pretext of money. For this, there is Clement III, Extra de Iudaeis, in the chapter "Sicut Iudaei," where the text says: We establish that no one compel the unwilling or reluctant Jews to come to baptism. If anyone, however, flees to Christians for the sake of faith, after his will has been made manifest, let him be made a Christian without calumny. For he who is not believed to have the faith of Christ is not considered to have it if he is compelled to come to the baptism of Christians not spontaneously but unwillingly. Also, let no Christian presume to either kill or wound any of them without the judgment of secular power, or to take away their money, or to change the good customs which they have held until now, especially in the celebration of their festivals. Whoever disturbs them with sticks or stones should in no way be permitted, nor let anyone exact forced services from them, except those which they were accustomed to do in the past time. Furthermore, opposing the wickedness and avarice of evil men, we decree that no one dare to mutilate or invade the cemetery of the Jews, or to dig up buried bodies on the pretext of money. If anyone, however, knowing the tenor of this decree, presumes to the contrary—which God forbid—let him suffer the danger of his honor and office, or let the sentence of excommunication proceed against him, unless he has corrected his presumption with worthy satisfaction. The gloss says: "Good customs," unlike the "bad" ones which can be changed, such as if they mock Christians, or if they pretend signs of lamentation, or their images or festivals, or what they presume to do in insult to the Creator, or as the law says, if they erect annually a mocked image of the cross. Vincent says in the Speculum Mirror of History, book 30, chapter 25, that at the time of King Philip of the French, namely in the year 1182, the Jews were found every year in the painful week Holy Week to kill one Christian in secret in the French ditches for the opprobrium of Christians. Thus, Saint Richard, whose body rests in the parish in the Church of Saint Innocent, was fixed to a cross by them and was made a martyr.
