life insurance contracts for pregnant enslaved women
The slaveholder and laywer named Niccolò Spinola purchases insurance against the risk of death from childbirth from an underwriter named Giuliano Dondo for an enslaved woman named Margarita, who is approximately 26 years of age and pregnant for about eight months, for 120 Genoese florins. The contract has extensive water damage so there are missing details about the term of the contract and the witnesses.
