"Dr. Bodine has judiciously confined his attention to one group of model contracts, namely those of the Babylonian Collection at Yale University...In each case, he has photographed and hand-copied the texts, restored missing or broken cuneiform signs on the basis of parallels among functional contracts of comparable import, provided an up-to-date survey of the entire genre of model contracts, and exhaustively studied the legal implications of their various types." (Dr. William W. Hallo, Yale University) "Walter Bodine has written a model book of its kind - a thorough edition and discussion of six tablets, about two dozen texts, of the type that is known as model contracts...The texts are all Sumerian and written for the most part in the Old Babylonian period. They not only open a window on how law can facilitate life; these tablets show with abundant clarity how scribes were educated in writing law, by copying and assimilating the work of the masters." (Dr. Edward Greenstein, Bar-Ilan University)
