From the dust jacket: "The records of ancient Mesopotamia disclose a bewildering variety of contractual forms governing arrangements between debtor and creditor. (...) In this volume, Barry Eichler analyzes a group of 54 personal "tidennutu" contracts dating to the middle of the second millennium B.C. (...) This study places these practices at Nuzi within the spectrum of analogous personal pledge contracts from other times and sites in the ancient Near East. By analyzing these contracts in depth, the author provides us with a glimpse into a vital socioeconomic aspect of ancient Mesopotamian society. Barry L. Eichler is [1973] assistant professor of Assyrology at the University of Pennsylvania." Very minor tears to dj, not affecting text. Head and tail of spine, corners slightly bumped. In English.
