Notes	The Ottoman authorities applied the “agricultural obligation” system since the 17th century to manage government agricultural lands (“miri”) in many of their provinces. But this system was delayed in arriving in southern Iraq until the last third of the nineteenth century. It became known there after the Ottoman Land Law of 1858 was put into practice for the first time at the hands of the famous reformer governor Midhat Pasha in 1869. The absent owners of agricultural lands in the Muntafiq district began to adopt this system - for many reasons - after the year 1881 to exploit their agricultural holdings by signing contracts with people seeking profit, authorizing them to cultivate the land in question and reap the proceeds for themselves in exchange for their commitment to pay a specific return to the owner, consisting of a cash allowance as well as a royalty. Different kind allowances. This is an analytical study of a number of original commitment contracts, comparing their contents, diagnosing the differences between them, and highlighting their significant contribution to the management of the agricultural process during the specific era. The study suggested modifications to certain results adopted by a previous scientific study.
