life insurance contracts for pregnant enslaved women
The slaveholder named Giovanni Antonio de Pastino purchases insurance against the risk of death from childbirth from an underwriter named Giuliano Dondo for an enslaved woman named Maddalena, who is approximately 26 years of age and pregnant for about nine months, for 100 Genoese florins. The term is three months from the date of the contract. The contract has extensive water damage so there are missing details about the underwriter and slaveholder.
