Abstract

The old assyrian tablets from Cappadocia are offering a coloured and impressing picture of the old assyrian commercial activities. That documentation puts the question if we can speak of a commercial law too. A closer look on the contracts offers a contradictory impression. The contracts are well elaborated and serve very well the commercial purposes, but do not show a notary, especially commercial style. Yet as a whole the contracts can not cover all the documented commercial activities. There must have been a network of activities and liabilities not formulated by contracts but by social connections and obligations.
