Code of Hammurapi - Code of Hammurapi

Japanese: ハンムラピ法典 - ハンムラピほうてん

This is a cuneiform law issued by King Hammurapi that systematizes model judgments. In 1901, a stone pillar containing the text of the law was excavated in Susa. It has 282 articles in total. It contains a wide range of provisions, mainly private law, and although it includes retaliation (the Tario principle, such as ``an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'') and social discrimination in punishments, it also takes into consideration the welfare of the people, such as by prohibiting the seizure of necessities of life. It is the pinnacle of ancient Oriental law and had a great influence on later generations.

ハンムラピ王が発布した，模範判決を体系化した楔形(くさびがた)文字法である。1901年スーサで法文を劾みこんだ石柱が発掘された。全282条。私法を中心に広範な規定を置き，同害報復（〈目には目を，歯には歯を〉など，タリオの原則）の復讐(ふくしゅう)刑罰や刑罰の身分的差別はあるが，生活必需品差押禁止など人民の福祉にも留意している。古代オリエント法の頂点に位置し，また後世に大きな影響を与えた。
