This singular edition uniquely combines translations by both Leonard William King and Robert Francis Harper, offering readers a comprehensive perspective and enriched interpretation of the ancient text. The Code of Hammurabi stands as one of the earliest and most comprehensive legal codes in human history. Engraved on a stele, it dates back to around 1750 BCE during the reign of Hammurabi, the sixth king of the Babylonian dynasty. Comprising 282 laws that cover a wide range of daily life aspects including family matters, property rights, commerce, and criminal justice, the Code of Hammurabi remains a testament to Babylonian civilization's sophistication and organizational prowess. It represents a significant milestone in legal history, reflecting humanity's enduring quest for justice and order. By studying Hammurabi's code, readers gain profound insights into the origins of legal systems and the complexities of ancient civilizations. Its enduring influence can be traced through subsequent legal traditions, including those of ancient Greece, Rome, and even modern legal systems.
