[EAN: 9789004135819], Tweedehands, goed, [SC: 41.13], [PU: Brill / Styx, Leiden], ECONOMIC HISTORY OF UR, PROVINCIAL VS. CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, ANCIENT TAXATION, SUMERIAN ECONOMICS, Jacket, Octavo. Ix, 375, (3)pp. Index and bibliography. Text in English with Romanized Summerian. White dust jacket lettered in red & black, over decorated blue cloth lettered in silver. 2 photos of a cuneiform tablet. A fine, as new copy. This volume investigates the relationship between the central government and the provinces during the Ur III period (2112-2004 B.C.). Specifically, the book focuses on one system of taxation known as "bala," or "rotation," so called as provinces' payments rotated month by month throughout the year. This work is the first to take an interarchival approach, discussing Sumerian tablets from Umma, Lagash and Puzriš-Dagan, and is the first major synthesis of what has long been recognized as a fundamental institution.
