A translation +of the Code, done by Mr. Johns of Queens’ College, Cambridge, +the highest living authority on this department of study, has just been +published by Messrs. T. & T. Clark in a cheap and attractive booklet. +Winckler says it is the most important Babylonian record which has thus +far been brought to light.”—<i>The Expository Times</i>.</p> +<h2><!-- page v--><span class="pagenum">p. v</span>INTRODUCTION</h2> +<p>The Code of Hammurabi is one of the most important monuments in the +history of the human race. Containing as it does the laws which +were enacted by a king of Babylonia in the third millennium <span class="smcap">B.C.</span>, +whose rule extended over the whole of Mesopotamia from the mouths of +the rivers Tigris and Euphrates to the Mediterranean coast, we must +regard it with interest. But when we reflect that the ancient +Hebrew tradition ascribed the migration of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees +to this very period, and clearly means to represent their tribe father +as triumphing over this very same Hammurabi (Amraphel, Gen. xiv. 1), +we can hardly doubt that these very laws were part of that tradition. +At any rate, they must have served to <!-- page vi--><span class="pagenum">p. vi</span>mould +and fix the ideas of right throughout that great empire, and so form +the state of society in Canaan when, five hundred years later, the Hebrews +began to dominate that region.</p> +<p>Such was the effect produced on the minds of succeeding generations +by this superb codification of the judicial decisions of past ages, +which had come to be regarded as ‘the right,’ that two thousand +years and more later it was made a text-book for study in the schools +of Babylonia, being divided for that purpose into some twelve chapters, +and entitled, after the Semitic custom, <i>Nînu ilu sirum</i>, +from its opening words. In Assyria also, in the seventh century +<span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, it was studied in a different edition, +apparently under the name of ‘The Judgments of Righteousness which +Hammurabi, the great king, set up.’ These facts point to +it as certain to affect Jewish views before and after the Exile, in +a way that we may expect to find as fundamental as the Babylonian influence +in cosmology or religion.</p> +<p>For many years fragments have been <!-- page vii--><span class="pagenum">p. vii</span>known, +have been studied, and from internal evidence ascribed to the period +of the first dynasty of Babylon, even called by the name Code Hammurabi. +It is just cause for pride that Assyriology, so young a science as only +this year to have celebrated the centenary of its birth, is able to +emulate astronomy and predict the discovery of such bright stars as +this. But while we certainly should have directed our telescopes +to Babylonia for the rising of this light from the East, it was really +in Elam, at Susa, the old Persepolis, that the find was made. +The Elamites were the great rivals of Babylonia for centuries, and it +seems likely that some Elamite conqueror carried off the stone from +a temple at Sippara, in Babylonia.</p> +<p>However that may be, we owe it to the French Government, who have +been carrying on explorations at Susa for years under the superintendence +of M. J. de Morgan, that a monument, only disinterred in January, has +been copied, transcribed, translated, and published, in a superb quarto +volume, by October. The ancient text is reproduced by <!-- page viii--><span class="pagenum">p. viii</span>photogravure +in a way that enables a student to verify word by word what the able +editor, Father V. Scheil, <i>Professeur à l’École +des Hautes-Études</i>, has given as his reading of the archaic +signs. The volume, which appears as <i>Tome IV., Textes Élamites-Sémitiques</i>, +of the <i>Mémoires de la Délégation en Perse</i> +(Paris, Leroux, 1902), is naturally rather expensive for the ordinary +reader. Besides, the rendering of the eminent French savant, while +distinguished by that clear, neat phrasing which is so charming a feature +of all his work, is often rather a paraphrase than a translation. +The ordinary reader who desires to estimate for himself the importance +of the new monument will be forced to wonder how and why the same word +in the original gets such different renderings. Prolonged study +will be needed to bring out fully the whole meaning of many passages, +and it may conduce to such a result to present the public with an alternative +rendering in an English dress. Needless to say, scholars will +continue to use Scheil’s edition as the ultimate source, but for +comparative <!-- page ix--><span class="pagenum">p. ix</span>purposes +a literal translation may be welcome as an introduction.</p> +<p>The monument itself consists of a block of black diorite, nearly +eight feet high, found in pieces, but readily rejoined. It contains +on the obverse a very interesting representation of the King Hammurabi, +receiving his laws from the seated sun-god Šamaš, ‘the +judge of heaven and earth.’ Then follow, on the obverse, +sixteen columns of writing with 1114 lines. There were five more +columns on this side, but they have been erased and the stone repolished, +doubtless by the Elamite conqueror, who meant to inscribe his name and +titles there. As we have lost those five columns we may regret +that he did not actually do this, but there is now no trace of any hint +as to who carried off the stone. On the reverse side are twenty-eight +columns with more than 2500 lines of inscription.</p> +<p>A great space, some 700 lines, is devoted by the king to setting +out his titles, his glory, his care for his subjects, his veneration +of his gods, and incidentally revealing the cities and districts under +his rule, with <!-- page x--><span class="pagenum">p. x</span>many interesting +hints as to local cults. He also invokes blessing on those who +should preserve and respect his monument, and curses those who should +injure or remove it. A translation of this portion is not given, +as it is unintelligible without copious comment and is quite foreign +to the purpose of this book, which aims solely at making the Code intelligible.</p> +<p>I desire to express my obligations to Dr. F. Carr for his many kind +suggestions as to the meaning of the Code.</p> +<p>The Index will, it is hoped, serve more or less as a digest of the +Code. One great difficulty of any translation of a law document +must always be that the technical expressions of one language cannot +be rendered in terms that are co-extensive. The rendering will +have implications foreign to the original. An attempt to minimise +misconceptions is made by suggesting alternative renderings in the Index. +Further, by labelling a certain section, as the law of incest, for example, +one definitely fixes the sense in which the translation is to be read. +Hence it is hoped that the Index <!-- page xi--><span class="pagenum">p. xi</span>will +be no less helpful than the translation in giving readers an idea of +what the Code really meant.</p> +<p>No doubt this remarkable monument will be made the subject of many +valuable monographs in the future, which will greatly elucidate passages +now obscure. But it was thought that the interest of the subject +warranted an immediate issue of an English translation, which would +place the chief features of the Code before a wider public than those +who could read the original. The present translation is necessarily +tentative in many places, but it is hoped marks an advance over those +already published.</p> +<p>Dr. H. Winckler’s rendering of the Code came into my hands +after this work was sent to the publishers, and I have not thought it +necessary to withdraw any of my renderings. In some points he +has improved upon Professor Scheil’s work, in other points he +is scarcely so good. But any discussion is not in place here. +I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to both, but have used an independent +judgment all through. I hope shortly <!-- page xii--><span class="pagenum">p. xii</span>to +set out my reasons for the differences between us in a larger work. +A few of Dr. Winckler’s renderings are quoted in the Index, and +marked—Winckler’s tr.</p> +<p>C.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +</pre></body> +</html> |
