Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law: The Ancient Near East (2500-330 BCE): Legal History Library / Studies in the History of International Law, cartea 8/4

Autor Amnon Altman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 mai 2012
This book offers a unique survey of legal practices and ideas relating to international relations in the Ancient Near East between 2500 and 330 BCE. Rather than entering into the debate on the continuous development of international law in Antiquity, the book discloses a vast amount of textual material from the Ancient Near East which sheds light on the legal regulation and organization of international relations in different epochs of pre-classical Antiquity. The book is a treasure trove of information for the historian of international law who wants to acquaint himself with the remotest history of international law, while it will also serve the general historian of the Ancient Near East who wants to acquaint himself with the international law of the period.

Recenzii

"Cette monographie, soigneusement ouvragée, est manifestement l’oeuvre d’un spécialiste du sujet. L’écriture est souple et claire, la main sûre, l’argumentation ne s’accroche pas uniquement sur la littérature secondaire, les sources premières sont directement exploitées. [...] Le présent ouvrage comble assurément une lacune. [...] [U]n voyage des plus instructifs et intéressants dans les tréfonds du temps, dans une région riche de cultures liées à l’Europe par les ponts des royaumes alexandrins, par l’Égypte, par la tradition biblique, etc. A fine book, riche de contenu et enrichi de passages de sources premières, permettant au lecteur de saisir sur le vif l’air du temps." – Robert Kolb, in: Journal de Droit International - Le Clunet (JDI) 140/1 (Janvier-Février-Mars 2013), pp. 334-337
