In the end the city-state of Babylon, under its energetic ruler Hammurabi, intervened. At an opportune moment, Hammurabi struck swiftly, defeated Larsa, and incorporated the southern domains into his own realms, thereby creating an empire that for a short time united the lands of Sumer and Akkad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inscriptions in this volume are grouped by dynasties and arranged in order by ruler within each dynasty. Further, the inscriptions are arranged chronologically within each king's reign. A short introduction for each inscription gives its general contents, place of origin, and relative dating. Also included are a detailed catalogue of exemplars, a brief commentary, bibliography, and text in transliteration facing an English translation. The appended microfiches contain a transliteration of each individual exemplar displayed in a format reminiscent of a musical score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Frayne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802058736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802058737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 8.72w x 2.76d","brand":"Douglas Frayne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065133904127,"sku":"9780802058737","price":307.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_457e0547-1391-446d-ac26-ff4aad2aa659.jpg?v=1768673215","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-babylonian-period-2003-1595-bc-douglas-frayne-9780802058737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
