Code of Hammurabi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (563 words)
1700 BC (short chronology), also known as the Codex Hammurabi, and Hammurabi's Code is one of the earliest sets of laws found, and one of the best preserved examples of this type of document from ancient Mesopotamia.
The earlier Ur-Nammu, of the written literature prolific Ur-III dynasty (2050 BC), also produced a code of laws, some of which bear resemblance to certain specific laws in the Code of Hammurabi.
The later Mosaic Law (according to the Torah redactor theory 400-300 BC; traditionally ca 1200 BC) also has some laws that resemble the Code of Hammurabi, as well as other law codes of the region.
