Résumé
In "Babylonian and Assyrian Laws, Contracts and Letters, " C. H. W. Johns meticulously uncovers the rich tapestry of ancient Mesopotamian legal and administrative practices. Through an examination of cuneiform inscriptions, Johns presents a comprehensive analysis of the socio-political landscape of Babylon and Assyria from the 3rd millennium BCE to the fall of Babylon in 539 BCE. The book is notable for its scholarly rigor and accessibility, combining detailed translations with insightful commentary that sheds light on the cultural, economic, and legal frameworks of the time, making it an essential resource for both historians and legal scholars.

His academic background in the classical languages endowed him with the skills necessary to decode the complexities of cuneiform writing, and his extensive fieldwork in the region provided him rich insights that underpin this work.
His dedication to the preservation and dissemination of ancient legal texts demonstrates his profound understanding of their significance in world history. For anyone seeking to gain a nuanced understanding of early legal systems and their profound impact on contemporary law, Johns' "Babylonian and Assyrian Laws, Contracts and Letters" is indispensable. This scholarly effort not only preserves ancient voices but also enriches modern discussions on law and governance, making it a vital addition to the library of any serious student or enthusiast of ancient civilizations.
