Abstract:
The post-Sasanian Pahlavi document no.25 of Tabaristān has a specific place among these documents; because apart from social, historical and political issues, it contains the legal-economical problems with the main subject of loan, compensation, financial obligation, profit, and oral and written contracts. This study examines the document’s economic content with a focus on the concept of Paymān (contract) and its parallels with the Mādayān ī Hazār Dādestān, the principal Sasanian legal compendium. The research investigates continuities and transformations in the economic framework of Padishkhwārgar relative to Sasanian models based on a qualitative methodology, and our informative data come from library sources. The findings show that substantial conformity with Sasanian law, while deviations—such as the absence of guarantees (Payandānī), modified penalty clauses, and composite contractual forms—reflect adaptation to new socio-political realities. Overall, the Tabaristān corpus offers invaluable primary evidence for the evolution of Iranian economic practices after the Sasanian period.
