註釋""The Hammurabi Code and the Sinaitic Legislation"" by Chilperic Edwards is a comprehensive study of two ancient legal codes: the Code of Hammurabi, which was discovered in Babylon in the 18th century BCE, and the Sinaitic Legislation, which is believed to have been written in the 5th century BCE. The book includes a complete translation of the Great Babylonian Inscription discovered at Susa, which contains the text of the Hammurabi Code. The author provides a detailed analysis of the legal systems of ancient Babylon and Sinai, comparing and contrasting their laws and customs. He explores the historical context in which these codes were created and the impact they had on subsequent legal systems. Edwards also delves into the language and structure of the Hammurabi Code, examining its use of legal terminology and its organization into specific categories of law. He provides a thorough explanation of the penalties and punishments prescribed by the code, as well as the rights and responsibilities of citizens under its provisions. Overall, ""The Hammurabi Code and the Sinaitic Legislation"" is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of law and legal systems, as well as the social and cultural context of ancient Babylon and Sinai.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1904 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
