Ur-Nammu stela : ウィキペディア英語版
Code of Ur-Nammu

The Code of Ur-Nammu is the oldest known law code surviving today. It is from Mesopotamia and is written on tablets, in the Sumerian language c. 2100–2050 BC.
==Discovery==
The first copy of the code, in two fragments found at Nippur, was translated by Samuel Kramer in 1952; these fragments are held at the Istanbul Archaeological Museums. Owing to its partial preservation, only the prologue and 5 of the laws were discernible.〔Kramer, ''History begins at Sumer'', pp. 52–55.〕 Kramer noted that luck was involved in the discovery:〔
In all probability I would have missed the Ur-Nammu tablet altogether had it not been for an opportune letter from F. R. Kraus, now Professor of Cuneiform Studies at the University of Leiden in Holland... His letter said that some years ago, in the course of his duties as curator in the Istanbul Museum, he had come upon two fragments of a tablet inscribed with Sumerian laws, had made a "join" of the two pieces, and had catalogued the resulting tablet as No. 3191 of the Nippur collection of the Museum... Since Sumerian law tablets are extremely rare, I had No. 3191 brought to my working table at once. There it lay, a sun-baked tablet, light brown in color, 20 by 10 centimeters in size. More than half of the writing was destroyed, and what was preserved seemed at first hopelessly unintelligible. But after several days of concentrated study, its contents began to become clear and take shape, and I realized with no little excitement that what I held in my hand was a copy of the oldest law code as yet known to man.

Further tablets were found in Ur and translated in 1965, allowing some 40 of the 57 laws to be reconstructed.〔Gurney and Kramer, "Two Fragments of Sumerian Laws," 16 ''Assyriological Studies,'' pp. 13–19〕 Another copy found in Sippar contains slight variants.〔Frayne, ''Ur III Period (2112-2004 B C)" University of Toronto Press, 1997 - Foreign Language Study - 489 pages 〕
