Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a significant contribution to our understanding of Babylonia in the early second millennium BCE. It presents the first publication and analysis of 56 previously unpublished letters and despatches from a period for which little certain information was previously available. The letters come from the archive of Hammurabi, one of the most famous of Babylonian kings, and provide important new insights into the internal organization and external relations of the Babylonian kingdom at this time. The book also includes a new analysis of the historical and votive inscriptions of Hammurabi, as well as the inscriptions of his successors. These provide a comprehensive view of the political and cultural history of Babylonia in the early second millennium BCE. The documents published and analyzed in this book shed new light on such topics as the role of the king in Babylonian society, the administration of justice, the organization of the army, and the economic life of the country. They also provide valuable new information about the relations between Babylonia and its neighbors, including Elam, Assyria, and the kingdom of Mari. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Mesopotamia in the early second millennium BCE. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
