Description

Ep.Philem. 18-19 presents the promise of Paul of Tarsus to take upon himself the potential obligations of the slave Onesimus towards his dominus. Some Romanists have interpreted this promise as the conclusion of a constitutum debiti alieni. The author – considering also the wide debate on the matter among the jurists of scuola culta and of 'Dutch Elegant School' – suggests that it is rather a promise of novation of Onesimus' obligations (an expromissio).
