Literal translation of the pillar of hammurabi. steven clark 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.. Gregory Simao said I just finished reading this book, since i have studying the Babylonian time period for a few weeks. Some of the rules were real. Five stars. It was pretty good,and I got to learn a lot how very strict the rules by Hammurabi were!!!. Short 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
