Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a selection from the trove of legal documents originating in Egypt, presents a fascinating glimpse into the governance, customs, and the daily lives of the people living in the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. The documents range from simple declarations to petitions, and from accounts to orders for payment, revealing the intricacies of public life and administration of the time. These texts are particularly valuable as they provide insights into the functioning of different levels of the bureaucracy, the collection of taxes, the operation of monopolies, and the complexities of justice during these periods. Through these documents, the reader gains an understanding of the legal, social, and economic landscape of ancient Egypt, and the book thus serves as a valuable source for scholars and general readers alike, offering a deeper understanding of the development of law and society in one of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations.
