Creditors have always sought the protection of the law to secure
themselves against loss if the debtor cannot or will not pay the
debt. This volume examines the legal instruments of security
available to creditors in the earliest known legal systems, their
use and abuse, and the ways in which the law sought to satisfy the
differing interests of creditors, debtors, and society in general,
with varying degrees of success.
The book covers all the major legal systems of the ancient Near
East, from Sumer to Ptolemaic Egypt, as well as comparative
historical developments up to the present day. Twelve scholars have
each contributed a study of their special period of expertise,
while the general issues that arise from their research are
discussed in a concluding chapter.
