The Code of Hammurabi
by Hammurabi
The Code of Hammurabi (Codex Hammurabi) is a well-preserved ancient law code, created ca. 1790 BC (middle chronology) in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. One nearly complete example of the Code survives today, inscribed on a seven foot, four inch tall basalt stele in the Akkadian language in the cuneiform script. One of the first written codes of law in recorded history. These laws were written on a stone tablet standing over eight feet tall (2.4 meters) that was found in 1901

I know I should have read the description - but this is incredibly short. I believe this book is now more of an academic reference than something you sit down and read. All I can grade it on is the translation and binding. The cover and binding looks to me like something from the 70s.. but thats not a bad thing. I like the sterile feel of this book. It is very academic feeling (and reading). Those of you looking at this book I am sure know what it is.. I am not sure if this is the best option for everyone - I feel it is expensive for what it is and I would recommend Kindle if you are looking to read it. If you are looking to keep it - this version is excellent - but as I mentioned - expensive.If I were to do it all over again I would buy this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Code-Hammurabi-Forgotten-Books/dp/1605060518/ref=pd_sim_b_9?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Q8GXEFHA2W1X5BZPS29
It is nicer looking (the cover) and is more than half the price.

The Code of Hammurabi edition by Hammurabi Hammurabi Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
I've read better, but... Hey! This was free.
Five stars. It was pretty good,and I got to learn a lot how very strict the rules by Hammurabi were!!!
A good traduction of the Code of Hammurabi. An important and historic document that help see how society and morals have evolved through time.
Even though these were not the first laws in history at this dispensation this book was very interesting in some of the harshest punishments. What may have been unlikely was what was needed to get the job done.
I read this book simply to expand my understanding of historical thinking. This book delivered. The code seemed to be translated as literal as possible while being kept readable or understandable in modern-day language.
It is great to be able to read such an old book of laws, some very harsh, but some others would be all right even today. Additionally, the reader will find out a lot about structure of the ancient society and their beliefs. Recommended especially for those interested in history.
I needed a source for a research paper discussing the code of hummurabi. This is literally the code of Hammurabi and the rest of the text from the pillar.
