Old Georgian law, To Take Someone Else’s Sin Upon Oneself, King, Oath.Abstract
The article is dedicated to one of the legal formulas found in Georgian legal monuments. We frequently come across with this formula in the orders of kings or persons of high hierarchies, and as per the perceotions held in those times, it was considered a strong social mechanism against the addressee of the formula, which also facilitated the enforcement of the will of the one who made orders.
