QUERY: Jewish Oath in early modern times

I am doing research on the Jewish Oath during the time of the Habsburg Empire, especially the latter part of the 18th century.  Does anyone know about the court procedures for non-Jews?  Specifically, did people swear in courts and, if so, was it done on a bible?  new testament?  specific passages?  

Please be in contact with me at pauljblank@aol.com.  

Thank you, Paul Blank
