Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Joint Expedition With the Iraq Museum at Nuzi. Vol 1: Inheritance Texts' is a foundational archaeological and philological study documenting the findings of the joint expedition to the ancient city of Nuzi, located near modern-day Kirkuk, Iraq. Authored by the renowned Assyriologist Edward Chiera, this first volume focuses specifically on the inheritance texts recovered from the site, offering a rare and detailed glimpse into the legal and social fabric of the Hurrian community during the mid-second millennium BCE.The volume presents primary source material in the form of cuneiform tablets, which detail the complex laws and customs governing the transfer of property, family estates, and the rights of heirs. These documents are instrumental for scholars of the Ancient Near East, providing critical data on the socio-economic structures, kinship ties, and judicial practices of the period. By meticulously recording and analyzing these archival findings, the work sheds light on the daily lives and legal complexities of a civilization that played a significant role in Mesopotamian history. This collection remains an essential resource for researchers in archaeology, ancient law, and Semitic studies, preserving the intellectual and cultural heritage of the Nuzi excavations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
