Law Collections from Mesopotamia and Asia Minor

This volume compiles law collections from Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Hittite sources, recorded by scribes from the end of the third millennium through the middle of the first millennium BCE. It includes famous texts like the Laws of Hammurabi alongside lesser-known scribal exercises, with English translations, sources, bibliography, glossary, and indexes.

The collections reflect contemporary legal practices in contracts, court cases, and abstractions of legal rules.
