life insurance contracts for pregnant enslaved women
The slaveholder named Giovanni de Sarzana purchases insurance against the risk of death from childbirth from an underwriter named Quirico Spinola for an enslaved woman named Anna, who is approximately 26 years of age and pregnant for about eight months, for 100 Genoese florins. The contract has extensive water damage so there are missing details about the witnesses and the term of the contract.
