Özet:

A Loan, which is the money or something valuable received to be given back under certain conditions, was one of the most frequently used trade ways to provide needs in the Old Uyghur society. Present contracts show that Uyghurs also borrowed for various agricultural products such as barley, wheat, and cotton in addition to the financial requirements. The loan contracts were issued by the debtor and the lenders together. They comprised the repayment conditions, surety and testimony information. This study is about the publication of the fragments of eight different loan contracts preserved in the Turfan Collection in the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. In the first instance, the main specialties of the loan contracts have been determined. The fragments have been transcribed, transliterated and then they have been translated into Turkey Turkish. Descriptor notes have been added where necessary. At the end of the study, there is an index of the texts and facsimiles.
