For your consideration is an exceedingly rare and historic hand-signed Royal manuscript document / edict / order / decree / commission / proclamation by Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor of the Austrian Empire, announcing his alliance with Imperial Russia under Tsarina Empress Anna of Russia in their war with the Ottoman Empire in 1737. An absolutely amazing, original, one of a kind document of historic proportions! After the announcement, there follows an offer to peoples under Ottoman rule to surrender, and for those who want freedom from the Turks. There is a description of privileges that will be granted to them i.
Freedom from pillage and plunder by his army. The document is dated June 1737, with the space for the day of the month left blank.
