Law and Morality in Sumerian Satirical Tales
Jana Matuszak, ISAC, University of Chicago
Ancient Iraq is famous for producing the world’s earliest compilations of casuistic law; the Laws of Hammurabi being the most renowned example. But what happens when a legal problem occurs that has not been considered by royal legislation? Jana Matuszak, assistant professor of Sumerology, ISAC, explores two Sumerian short stories that raise potentially subversive questions – and provide surprising solutions.
