Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oldest Code of Laws in the World: The Code of Laws Promulgated By, Hammurabi, King of Babylon, B. C. 2285 2242
The Code of Hammurabi is one of the most important monuments in the history of the human race. Containing as it does the laws which were enacted by a king of Babylonia in the third millennium B.C., whose rule extended over the whole of Mesopotamia from the mouths of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates to the Mediterranean coast, we must regard it with interest. But when we reflect that the ancient Hebrew tradition ascribed the migration of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees to this very period, and clearly means to represent their tribe father as triumphing over this very same Hammurabi (Amraphel, Gen. xiv.1), we can hardly doubt that these very laws were part of that tradition.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The Code of Laws is the world's oldest comprehensive law code that has been rediscovered in its entirety. Originally written by King Hammurabi of Babylon, Mesopotamia in 1750 BC, it is a compelling insight into the social fabric, judicial system, and cultural norms of one of the world's earliest civilizations. The code covered a vast array of crimes and punishments and established a set of laws that were intended to ensure justice and order within Babylonian society. The code demonstrates the remarkable level of social and legal sophistication achieved by the Babylonians and has had a profound impact on the development of legal systems around the world. It remains a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Mesopotamia and provides valuable insights into the origins of modern legal systems.
