Résumé
The 'Codex Hammurabi' stands as one of the earliest and most significant legal documents in human history, dating back to around 1754 BCE. Written in cuneiform script on a basalt stele, this collection of laws encompasses a wide range of social, economic, and family matters, reflecting the intricate fabric of Babylonian society. Its literary style is characterized by a concise yet rhythmic form, embodying both prescriptive legal codes and ethical principles.
Contextually, the Codex emerges from a time when centralized governance began to implement codified laws to maintain order and justice, showcasing early attempts at legal reform and administration that would influence future legal systems worldwide. Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, is known for his diplomatic and military prowess as well as his commitment to societal welfare.
His historical context'-characterized by political consolidation and cultural flourishing'-provided him a platform to enact laws aimed at justice and community stability. His personal insights and leadership aspirations shaped the content of the Codex, ensuring it spoke to both commoners and the elite. This foundational text is essential for anyone interested in legal history, social justice, or the development of civilizations.
