Beschreibung

The Codex Hammurabi, written by the ancient Babylonian king Hammurabi, is one of the oldest and most well-preserved legal codes in history. This comprehensive collection of laws provides valuable insights into the social, economic, and political structures of ancient Mesopotamia. Through its detailed provisions, the book sheds light on the everyday lives of Babylonians, their relationships, and the justice system of the time. Written in cuneiform script on a stele, the Codex Hammurabi showcases Hammurabi's efforts to establish justice and order in his kingdom. Hammurabi, a powerful ruler of the Old Babylonian Empire, is known for his contributions to law and governance. His motivation for creating the Codex Hammurabi was to regulate behavior, ensure equity, and maintain social harmony among his subjects. His legacy as a lawgiver and administrator continues to influence legal systems worldwide. I highly recommend the Codex Hammurabi to readers interested in ancient history, legal studies, and political science. This seminal work offers a unique perspective on law and justice in the ancient world, highlighting the enduring importance of fair governance and societal order.
