The Code of Hammurabi is a historical text written by King Hammurabi of Babylon in the 18th century BCE. This book is a collection of laws that were enacted by Hammurabi during his reign as the king of Babylon. The laws cover a wide range of topics, including property rights, marriage and divorce, trade and commerce, and crimes and punishments. The Code of Hammurabi is considered to be one of the earliest known legal codes in human history, and it provides valuable insights into the social and cultural norms of ancient Babylonian society. This book includes a detailed introduction that provides historical context about the time period in which the laws were written, as well as a translation of the original text into English. The Code of Hammurabi is an important work of ancient literature that provides a fascinating glimpse into the legal and social systems of ancient Mesopotamia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
