Description: Piscataway (NJ), Gorgias Press, [2014]. IX,346 pp. B./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (bairds). 8vo. - Outer edges of pages sl. spotted. (Gorgias Handbooks).This complete grammar of Code of Hammurabi is formally arranged and can be the basis for learning the rest of Akkadian grammar. Students of Biblical Hebrew or Arabic will find it a most convenient introduction to this sister language. The cuneiform text has been set out in columns opposite a phonetic transcription, thus enabling the comprehensive set of citations illustrating various points of Akkadian grammar to be easily checked within their wider linguistic context. This book, when used in conjunction with the author's previous book Hammurabi's Laws, makes it possible for a student to learn to read and understand the whole text of Hammurabi's Stele.
