Produktinformationen "Codex Hammurabi"

The Codex Hammurabi is among the most consequential legal and literary monuments of the ancient Near East. Inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform on a basalt stele, it combines royal prologue, nearly three hundred casuistic laws, and solemn epilogue. Its style is lapidary and formulaic, shaped by the memorable "if...then" structure of Mesopotamian jurisprudence, yet framed as a moral drama in which justice descends from the gods through the king. The text illuminates property, commerce, family, labor, violence, and social hierarchy in Old Babylonian society. Hammurabi, king of Babylon in the eighteenth century BCE, was not merely a conqueror but a ruler intent on consolidating a diverse realm under a recognizable order. His military and administrative expansion required standards that could project royal authority across cities with differing customs. The Code's prologue presents him as chosen by Shamash, god of justice, suggesting that law, kingship, religion, and political legitimacy were inseparable. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in law, history, political thought, or ancient literature. It rewards modern readers not as a simple ancestor of contemporary justice, but as a complex artifact of power, morality, and social imagination.
