Abstract

The article presents four hitherto unpublished Neo-Assyrian documents from the private collection of the late Jørgen Læssøe. It mentions that debt notes are of considerable interest to the legal historian as two of them contain a relatively rare clause that explicitly assigns joint responsibility to a group of co-debtors.
