古巴比伦债务奴隶买卖研究

Study of the Debt Slave Sale in the Old Babylonian Period

古巴比伦时期随着经济的发展,社会内部矛盾激化,导致自由民丧失土地所有权与公民身份,债务奴隶随之产生。通过对古代两河流域地区南北部城市债务奴隶买卖文献的整理与释读,在分析交易模式、价格等问题的同时,分析与买主巴勒穆楠希相关联的文献得以全面深刻认识债务奴隶制,从而对古巴比伦时期社会状况有了清晰的认识,更为深入地认识了古代两河流域地区奴隶制社会的发展与演进。

With the economic development, the social conflict became acute. The free citizens lost their ownership of land and the citizenship, and the debt slaves came into being. We can thoroughly understand the system of the debt slave, the mode of deal and slave price through collecting and translating the documents from the southern and northern cities in Mesopotamia. Then we can clearly know the social condition in the Old Babylonian Period and the development and evolution of the slave society in the Mesopotamia.
