Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Code of Hammurabi is an ancient Babylonian legal text that dates back to around 1754 BC. It is one of the oldest known legal documents in the world, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the social, economic, and political conditions of ancient Babylon.The code consists of 282 laws that cover a wide range of topics, including property rights, trade regulations, family law, and criminal justice. The laws are written in cuneiform on a stele, which is a large stone monument that was erected in the city of Babylon.The Code of Hammurabi is named after its author, King Hammurabi of Babylon, who ruled from 1792 to 1750 BC. Hammurabi was a powerful king who conquered many neighboring lands and established a vast empire. He is known for his military conquests, his building projects, and his legal reforms.The laws in the Code of Hammurabi are based on the principle of lex talionis, which means ''an eye for an eye.'' This principle is reflected in many of the laws, which prescribe specific punishments for specific crimes. For example, if a man breaks the bone of another man, his own bone will be broken in return.The Code of Hammurabi is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the legal and social practices of ancient Babylon. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of law and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
