This paper examines some aspects of a group of Sumerian model contracts that record transactions involving slaves, namely antichretic pledges (i.e., the debtor pledged a slave to work for the creditor, instead of paying interest on his loan) and the hiring of slaves as workers. In the Appendix, two of these model contracts are published for the first time; in addition, the reconstructed version of a third model contract is proposed, based on five sources.

Abstract
This paper examines some aspects of a group of Sumerian model contracts that record transactions involving slaves, namely antichretic pledges (i.e., the debtor pledged a slave to work for the creditor, instead of paying interest on his loan) and the hiring of slaves as workers. In the Appendix, two of these model contracts are published for the first time; in addition, the reconstructed version of a third model contract is proposed, based on five sources.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
