Summary/Abstract: This research draws several conclusions about the development of the idea about the mistake in contract formation - from the Ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages and the period after the Great French Revolution. Three different kinds of error are presented – error which is a vice of consent (erreur-vice; errore-vizio; Sachverhaltsirrtum), error – obstacle (erreur-obstacle, errore-ostacolo), and error in statement (Erklärungsirrtum).
