The Code of Hammurabi - Enriched edition

Hammurabi

Sinopse

The Code of Hammurabi is a foundational text of ancient Mesopotamian law, inscribed on a basalt stele around 1754 BCE, which offers a comprehensive overview of social, economic, and legal norms of Babylon. Utilizing a concise and direct literary style, Hammurabi's edicts are organized into a series of clear, prescriptive laws, often categorized by subjects such as property rights, family relations, and trade regulations. This work not only reflects the values and priorities of its time but also serves as a crucial historical document, illuminating the complexities of ancient civilization and the evolution of legal thought in the Near East. Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, governed with a vision of unifying his diverse empire under a codified legal framework. Influenced by earlier Sumerian laws and his own experiences as a ruler, Hammurabi's dedication to justice and order is evident in the principles embedded in his code. His holistic approach to governance highlights the balance he sought to establish between authority and fairness, which shaped the future of legal systems across civilizations. Readers interested in the intersection of law, ethics, and history will find The Code of Hammurabi to be an essential text that invites exploration into the roots of modern legal systems. This work is invaluable for scholars, students, and anyone curious about the origins of societal structures and the significance of codified law in shaping human society.
