PL
Artykuł przedstawia sposoby stopniowej zmiany prawa zwyczajowego na starożytnym Bliskim Wschodzie. Dla osiągnięcia tego celu wykorzystywano istniejące instytucje prawne, modyfikując ich zakres zastosowania oraz skutki. Konserwatywny charakter zarówno bliskowschodniej kultury, jak i edukacji pisarskiej uniemożliwiał jednak jakiekolwiek nagłe, radykalne zmiany. Nawet jeśli powstawał nowy typ umowy, zachowywano przynajmniej pozory dostosowania go do powszechnie stosowanej praktyki.

The article presents the ways customary law could be gradually changed in the ancient Near East. They included working with existing institutions while modifying their consequences as well as their scope of application with tools such as legal fiction. However, the conservative nature of the ancient oriental culture, as well as that of the scribal education made any sudden, radical modification impossible, and even if a new contract type was created, it would keep the pretense of following a long-established practice.
