Nesvizh Jewish innkeepers in 1660s

Nesvizh Name Index Census 1660s

This is the list of Jewish residents from Kopyl, Slutsk district.

This is the list of Jewish innkeepers of Nesvizh. They paid taxes to the Castle, i.e. prince, since Nesvizh was a Radziwill family pocession. The list indicates categories beer and honey. Some paid individually some paid in both categories. Since these are innkeepers, perhaps this indicates the early form of the alcohol license.


Originally found within a group of documents related to 1657 Nesvizh census,
which also includes the list of property owners from 1671. Therefore this list must be at least from 1660s.
