Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Oldest Code of Laws in the World by C. H. W. Johns is a fascinating exploration of one of humanity's earliest legal documents-the Code of Hammurabi. Written around 1750 BCE in ancient Babylon, this code set forth laws governing justice, trade, family life, labor, and property, offering a glimpse into the structure and values of Mesopotamian society. Johns presents these ancient laws in clear English translation, providing historical background and commentary that help readers understand their social and moral significance. Through his careful analysis, he reveals how the Babylonians sought to maintain order and fairness in a complex and growing civilization.Beyond its historical importance, the book highlights how the principles in Hammurabi's code laid the foundation for later systems of law and justice. Johns explains how these early statutes-engraved on stone for all to see-reflected the belief that the king was chosen by the gods to uphold righteousness and protect the weak. The Oldest Code of Laws in the World remains an essential work for students of history, law, and archaeology, offering not just a record of ancient justice but also insight into the beginnings of human civilization's quest for fairness and moral order.…
