An indenture is an early form of contract, commonly used during the Middle Ages in England. Below is an original document dated 5 November 1408 (!), from Professor Tina L. Stark’s collection of old English indentures. (Prof. Stark presented her beautiful collection of antique indentures, bonds, deeds, and leases during the 13th annual International Conference on Contracts (KCON XIII) in Orlando, Florida.)
