The collection includes contracts, receipts, and other legal documents that provide insight into the economic and legal systems of the time. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a general introduction to the documents and the second part containing translations of the documents themselves. The translations are accompanied by detailed notes and commentary, providing context and analysis of the legal and economic practices of the Old Babylonian era.
