Tossup

In the 1920s, a Kosovan folklorist compiled a set of local works on this discipline attributed to a medieval prince, the Kanun. During the Raj, British translators first emphasized a focus on this discipline in the title of a (-5[1])Hindu text named for Manu. (10[1])This discipline was codified (10[1])in the Roman Republic by ten citizens who wrote the Twelve Tables. (10[4])Travelling officials (10[1])educated in this discipline (10[1])established its “common” form (10[3])during (10[1])the reign (10[2])of (10[1])Henry (10[3])II. (10[2])This discipline’s principle (10[1])of (10[1])lex talionis (10[1])derives (10[1])from a Babylonian stela whose namesake (10[1])decreed “an eye for an eye.” (10[4]-5[1])For (10[1])10 points, “codes” (10[2])such as (10[1])Hammurabi’s (10[1]-5[1])outline what discipline’s namesake set of rules governing society? ■END■ (10[5])
