This paper provides a general outline of the scholastics' discussions on the theme of uncertainty in business contracts, and of the way in which this argument enabled to escape from the prohibition of usury. A particular focus is given to the treatise De contractibus by the franciscan Peter John Olivi, of which numerous extracts are presented and translated. Through discussions on various types of contracts, medieval theologians and canon lawyers have stressed the possiblity of evaluating and selling, in the present, uncertain values of future goods, without ever attempting at formalising the calculation of such values.
