Chirographs: negotiable instruments?

Abstract

Abstract The dominant view that chirographs had in classical and later Roman law merely evidentiary value has recently been challenged by Jakab. It is sustained in this contribution that chirographs of monetary debts were in the middle of the 2nd century AD transferable with full cession of the inherent actions and that, if they were not yet already at that time actually representing obligations by writing, they were acknowledged as such by the beginning of the 3rd century.
