{"product_id":"laws-of-the-himyarites-9798330253050","title":"Laws of the Himyarites","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eLaw of the Himyarites, also known by its Greek title 'Nomoi ton Homeriton'\u003c\/em\u003e (Νόμοι των Όμηριτών), or by its Latin '\u003cem\u003eLeges Homeritarum'\u003c\/em\u003e is a composite text of hagiography and some authentic pre-Islamic South Arabian jurisprudence. Differentiating pious legend from historical Himyarite law remains a point of academic debate. The laws enclosed are not arranged thematically, but may be categorized under seven different themes: (1) Marriage law; (2) the institution of slavery; (3) right of employment; (4) Social deviance; (5) cruelty against animals; (6) Proprietorial law; (7) and regulation of State officeholders. Within the last class are laws concerning sorcery, poisoning, perjury, theft, extrajudicial punishments, infringing ecclesiastical asylum, workhouses for criminals and prohibitions on begging. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalcassian Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798330253050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Gregentios of Taphar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44792529813685,"sku":"9798330253050","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f5a358e9-b942-49f3-be2d-14afc9145d14.jpg?v=1731426503","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/laws-of-the-himyarites-9798330253050","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
