Viac o knihe

Focusing on the social and legal customs of ancient Semitic peoples, this work delves into the legal frameworks of the Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hebrews, examining key areas such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and property rights. Schaeffer highlights the interplay between religion and law, as well as the impact of neighboring cultures on Semitic legal practices. This comprehensive analysis not only illuminates the origins of many contemporary legal and social norms but also serves as a valuable resource for scholars of ancient history and anthropology.
