Release and Its Silences: What the Laws of Hammurabi and the Accounts of Solon Say about Debtors, Creditors and the Terms of Relief

What do the laws of Hammurabi and the ancient accounts of Solon's measures say about debtors, creditors and the conditions of relief: what is released, from whom, on what condition, for how long, and who bears the cost? The texts can test the clean-slate thesis only at the level of its two witnesses, and they cannot show enforcement.
