  1. Things to be noted beforehand. All onerous contracts are divided into commutative contracts, of which some are principal, others accessory; and into aleatory contracts. All those contracts are bilateral, and for their validity equality of burden from each side is altogether required if they are commutative, equality of hope or fortune if they are aleatory. Concerning these in three chapters.

Commutative or strictly onerous contracts are: 1. purchase-sale; - 2. exchange and exchange of money; - 3. census; - 4. lease-hiring; - 5. emphyteusis and fief; - 6. partnership; - 7. transaction. Concerning each briefly.
