Riassunto

The Oldest Code of Laws in the World is a historical book that delves into the Code of Laws promulgated by Hammurabi, the King of Babylon, between 2285-2242 BC. This book is a translation of the original text of the code, which is considered to be the oldest set of laws in the world. The code consists of 282 laws that cover various aspects of life in Babylon, including trade, property, family, and criminal law. The book provides a detailed analysis of the code and its significance in the ancient world. It also provides insights into the social, economic, and political conditions of Babylon during Hammurabi's reign. The author, Hammurabi, was a prominent ruler in ancient Mesopotamia, and his code of laws is considered to be a significant milestone in the development of legal systems worldwide. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history, law, or the evolution of legal systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
