a royal edict was issued on 8 april 1745, ordering all jews of moravia also to emigrate within a short time. again burmania pleaded for them, and the edicts were modified on 15 may 1745, the jews being allowed to remain in bohemia and moravia "until further orders". burmania endeavored to have repealed the edict which was issued on 25 june 1746, prohibiting all jews from coming within two hours' distance of prague; but he was not successful. finally, however, on july 1748, maria theresa revoked the edict of 18 december 1744 "on account of the pressure from the foreign ambassadors" and the jews were allowed to return to prague.
