A NEW INSIGHT ON THE CODE OF HAMMURABI (I)

Summary
This paper offers the first complete translation of the Code of Hammurabi into Serbian, including about thirty reconstructed damaged norms
of the original stella text (6699), mainly following Martha Roths edition.
It also contains the authors comprehensive comments to the provisions of
the Code, and his reflections on the most important inovations introduced
by this Babylonian legal scripture. The author tries to perceive and analyze the complex nature of the Code from a new angle. The author calls
attention to the unique blending of customs and law in the Code, as two
substantially different sources of law. He stresses out the specific nature
of the Code, which lies somewhere between the code in the full meaning of the word and a collection of judgements, as well as the substantial
changes that were brought by the Code in the field of social policy of
the time. All of this may clearly show how much the contemporary legal
culture owes to the Summerian-Acadian legal tradition, represented by
this Code at its best and to the fullest extent possible.
Key words: Code of Hammurabi (Serbian translation). Sources of
law. Law and Custom. Babylon. Summerian-Acadian
legal tradition.
