Synopsis :

The Structure of the Hammurabi Code is a book written by David Gordon Lyon in 1904. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Hammurabi Code, which is one of the oldest known legal codes in human history. The Hammurabi Code was created by King Hammurabi of Babylon in the 18th century BC and contains 282 laws that cover a wide range of topics, including property rights, family law, and criminal law.In this book, Lyon examines the structure of the Hammurabi Code and how it reflects the social and political context of ancient Babylon. He argues that the code was not simply a set of laws, but rather a complex system of social control that was designed to maintain order and stability in Babylonian society.Lyon also provides a detailed analysis of the individual laws in the Hammurabi Code and how they were enforced. He discusses the punishments for various crimes and the role of judges and other officials in administering justice.Overall, The Structure of the Hammurabi Code is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on one of the most significant legal codes in human history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient law, history, or culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
