Angelus

Angelus was a Jewish merchant in Rome in the thirteenth century. In partnership with other Jewish merchants he held commercial relations with the papal court. Angelus and his partners had to collaborate in business with Christians who possessed the rights of Roman citizenship and who were enrolled in the merchants' gild, since they, as Jews, lacked these rights. Angelus and his partners were exempted from paying the traveling-tax by a bull of Pope Alexander IV.
