Termenul „Codul lui Hammurabi” este unul modern, numit astfel dupǎ „Codul lui Napoleon”. Istoricii sunt de pǎrere cǎ Hammurabi s-a inspirat din mai vechiul cod de legi al lui Ur-Nammu, un rege din Ur, scris cu aproximativ trei secole ȋnainte. De asemenea, el s-a folosit și de experiențele anterioare ale cazurilor pe care le judecase.

Hammurabi was able to remain in power thanks to his tenacity and great political ability, knowing how to take advantage of the best possible game of power, through pacts and alliances with contemporary kings. One of his first concerns was the implementation of law and order in the country, foundations that led to the internal unity of his kingdom. With great patience, self-mastery, and much political tact, he builds, through his victories and achievements, piece by piece, his vast empire. The ke...more

The lesson I learned from this surprisingly early system of laws is this: if you do something even vaguely wrong it is likely that you '... shall be put to death.'
No wonder the empire lasted so long. People were shit-scared that their cow might wander into someone else's field!
But jokes aside, this was really enlightening in the sense that I never knew there existed such a well-thought out code of law (albeit a bloody one) to deter theft, vandalism, murder and slander, that hinged above all thi...more

'So the strong should not harm the weak.' - King Hammurabi in the prologue, explaining why he established the world's first law code. A fascinating peek into life at the dawn of civilization. FYI: There is no law #13 !
Some interesting laws:
-------------------------
# 128. If a man takes a woman to wife, but has no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him.
# 132. If the finger is pointed at a man's wife about another man, but she is not caught sleeping with the other man, she shall jump i...more

A disturbing look into ancient Mesopotamia, through the laws passed by King Hammurabi almost 4000 years ago. I appreciate Judge Judy all the more after reading this. What do we learn from reading these 282 laws? We learn that humanity has changed! I daresay for the better. A lot of the laws are settling property and contract disputes. So the code prescribes price and wage fixing--Adam Smith is still millennia in the future.
You get the classic eye for an eye that appears later in the Jewish holy...more

Created out of divine authority, world's first code of laws is quite an amusing read.
It surprised me with some of its humane laws:
If a man has incurred a debt and a storm has flooded his field or carried away the crop, or the corn has not grown because of drought, in that year he shall not pay his creditor. Further, he shall post-date his bond and shall not pay interest for that year.

The only truly interesting things about this was its origin. It's the first known code of laws. But other than a few harsh punishments for seemingly minor things, there's not much to marvel at.

Jan 30, 2018Zainab Ali added it · review of another edition

It is not my place to discuss the justice or the harshness of these laws (some of which were pretty harsh, I tell you), but I found this book... satisfying.
Considering its origins and its being the first known code of law in the world, it was very well-ordered and thorough; assaults, murder, theft, slander, trade, land, animals, slaves, hirement, public services, political corruption, marriage, adoption, inheritence and other family affairs... with 282 laws, the code covers all the aspects of li...more

The Code of Hammurabi was a great breakthrough in the criminal justice system, setting a precedent for future refinements in the codes of various cultures. Not only was it uniform in its treatment of all the people of the Babylonian nation, but it recognized the political corruption inherent in offices of authority, and introduced a great deal of measures to prevent abuse of that power, as well as heightened penalties for the privileged classes in violation of the code.
This code is comprehensive...more

I started this book at least four times and never got back to it. Seeing as we have been deluged lately here in North Carolina, I figured I would tear through it. This is a law book, a book of laws that are still the basis for many laws and rules amongst many cultural variances. There are rules here for how sexual situations should be treated, how a judge should respond to certain things, and many other things you have heard of. Eye for an Eye? Oh yes, mentioned and put in place here. Many other...more

I remember learning about Hammurabi's laws in high school, but we didn't have to read the actual laws. I see now what a good decision that was. Ol' Hammy gets way too specific - this reads like a transcript of every specific case ever brought to court in Sumer. Plus, there's a long intro telling us how the gods picked Hamms as king, and an even longer epilogue full of curses on any future king who changes the laws. Might've been big news at the time, but it's pretty long-winded and narcissistic...more

Well, yeah... I can only give it five stars given that it's legal text and not a work of fiction nor a science book.
It's interesting as a document and relic. Cool to know that there are the basis of profesional mala praxis and dolo.

I have not tried other translations yet, but this is an easy and understandable read for anybody interested in some of the world's oldest recorded laws. I highly recommend this book if you're interested in the evolution of popular morality. The Hammurabi version of 'fairness' is extremely interesting too - for example, a poor man is fined less than a rich man in cases of ill fortune or even law breaking (they even paid less for the doctor, erm, bronze lancet treatment), yet if a poor man injures...more

Not a book you would read for enjoyment, but still a good to read if you are majoring in world history or criminal justice. The code is basically an eye for an eye, while someone are pretty much the same now as it was before, I just felt like some crimes deserved more punishment. Like if a son where to hit his father the son would have his fingers cut off, but if a man where to hit a woman which caused a miscarriage he would have to pay her money, which to me that man deserves to have his finger...more

The Code of Hammurabi reminds me of some of the laws in the Book of Leviticus in the Old Testament of the Bible. There are laws concerning relationships between men, women, and children, as well as payment or restitution for the harming or killing of others. There are also many laws concerning the payments for farming, crops, and trade, and use and care of others animals, servants, and slaves. The Code is missing some text, so we don't have all the laws that were written, but it gives us a good...more

Codul Lui Hammurabi

There are so many gruesome ways to punish another person. It goes well beyond 'eye for an eye' (law 196) and tooth for a tooth' (law 200). This source material provides a glimpse into the value system of the Babylonian dynasty. The fact that laws 66 - 99 are missing is disappointing. This is such an excellent window into the value system of this place at that time; I'm sure we've missed much by not seeing those laws.
The Code of Hammurabi focuses on the following subjects: Slavery (the text stri...more

This is a collection of laws, most of which were already in place before Hammurabi unified them into his Code. It must have been progressive for his time, but it doesn't look so dignified today. It is very clear that Abrahamic religious edicts have similar roots with ancient Babylonian law. The Old Testament style and temperament strongly resembles Ancient Akkadian and Sumerian texts, but I'm getting this impression based on English translations. It's interesting and eye-opening to see the threa...more

This is one of the oldest deciphered writings still around today, so I was curious to read it. It’s fascinating to read, a bit like the Ten Commandments, except with more death and just horribleness in general. Seriously, so many of the laws end with, “he shall be put to death.” I mean, a bit harsh. However, it’s interesting to see how similar these laws are to many lists of laws around the world (from Ancient China to the Bible), like don’t steal and laws of bequeathing property. This makes for...more

One of the oldest law codes in history,it was very cruel,almost everyone shall be put to death! Yet impressively judges were not immune, sometimes they were to be punished if they broke the law.
It gives an idea about the nature of their civilization,& the importance of agriculture & slavery at the time.

'If a judge try a case, reach a decision, and present his judgment in writing; if later error shall appear in his decision, and it be through his own fault, then he shall pay twelve times the fine set by him in the case, and he shall be publicly removed from the judge’s bench, and never again shall he sit there to render judgement.'

My daughter studied The Code of Hammurabi (not this edition) for homeschool using Omnibus 1 as a guide. It was quite an eye opener for her, and at times she was furious. Comparing Hammurabi's Code to Old Testament laws was a very interesting exercise, too.
I, too, benefited from rereading this and found it more fascinating than the first time.

It was a rather incomplete version, so I had to look for another one. But from this glimpse the Hammurabi I used to take as cool suddenly became more scary than cool.
A longer more replete rendition should give me a better insight to making him cool again, I hope.

Not the most engaging read, but it IS the law of the Sumerians. There was an epilogue and prologue that was like, 'I'm the king and I'm awesome and this is the law because the gods like me, yo!' Lots of death penalties too.

Obviously this is not the kind of book you read for its literature and creativity. It was an interesting read though as you get to see how even ancient civilizations had law and order instilled in their lives, whereas we are still struggling to conform. The punishments might be different and the crimes on a wider scale but the fundamentals of this system are still in place. Being a translated version, the book I read does not do the actual code of Hammurabi justice.

Brilliant and Exhaustive!
I first read the Code of Hammurabi in a high school ancient history class. The teacher was a devotee of original sources and I was influenced by the age of the Code and its systematic rendering of a just legal document (for that era). As I recently re-read Hammurabi, I marveled again at the breadth of topics the Code addressed. Written about 2,000 years BCE, the king of Babylon covered everything from trade to divorce; from crime to stratification; from parental rights t...more

Hammurabi (Akkadian from Amorite ʻAmmurāpi, 'the kinsman is a healer', from ʻAmmu, 'paternal kinsman', and Rāpi, 'healer'; died c. 1750 BCE) was the sixth king of Babylon (that is, of the First Babylonian Dynasty) from 1792 BCE to 1750 BCE middle chronology (1728 BCE – 1686 BCE short chronology). He became the first king of the Babylonian Empire following the abdication of his father, Sin-Muballit...more

Despre Codul Lui Hammurabi

“When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunnaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land assigned to Marduk, the over-ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak, so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.
...When Marduk sent me to rule over men, to give the protection of right to the land, I did right and righteousness in . . . , and brought about the well-being of the oppressed.
