This collection brings together the 44 most important articles that Westbrook published in the 25 years following the completion of his Ph.D. at Yale University in 1982. The first volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Shared Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e, contains 16 articles that lay out Westbrook's theory of a common legal tradition that spanned the ancient world from Mesopotamia to Israel and even to Greece and Rome. The second volume, \u003ci\u003eCuneiform and Biblical Sources\u003c\/i\u003e, provides 28 articles that demonstrate Westbrook's unique method of legal analysis that he applied to the numerous texts he worked with as an Assyriologist and biblical scholar, from law codes to contracts to narratives. Each volume contains its own comprehensive bibliography, as well as subject, author, and text indexes. Together, they represent the life's work of one of the most important legal historians of our era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Westbrook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1575061775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781575061771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eisenbrauns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.56d","brand":"Raymond Westbrook","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065716519167,"sku":"9781575061771","price":146.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa7e8848-00ce-4927-9f2a-3060837e06e8.jpg?v=1768676787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-from-the-tigris-to-raymond-westbrook-9781575061771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
