OT: iOS App for Mesopotamian (sp) Tablets (free)

DMB

If you're addicted to apps and you're addicted to looking at ancient inscriptions (both addictions having the multiplier effect as explained in the Logos blog), 'CDLI Tablet'

Unbelievable pictures along with descriptions.  And yes, free (no ads, etc). 

It's sponsored by the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative and programmed at UCLA.

And if you got this far, then please consider enjoying:

https://www.logos.com/product/38372/journal-of-cuneiform-studies (which is surprisingly moving along!)

https://www.logos.com/product/41570/the-cuneiform-inscriptions-and-the-old-testament (a CP that's currently $6, a bit dated, but not the cuneiform!)

https://www.logos.com/product/15073/theory-and-method-in-biblical-and-cuneiform-law-revision-interpolation-and-development (which is cheapo and VERY interesting ... useful for both OT and NT discussions)

And ... not found in Logos but wish we had: a good discussion of Egyptian law around the time of Ramesis II.

EDIT: By the way on the tablet app, you can do significant zooming in. And if you enjoy doing art (ar-teest as JJ used to say), you can try to figure out how they did the imprints without messing up on the edges (soft clay).

Not to avoid your keen sense of humor(!),  but 'the king' quite often was not the modern dictator that we see today.  The major interest item in both Genesis and Exodus was the constant chit-chat with the 'religious ones' where Moses was actually competing against the Egyptian god/king.

Anyway http://www.amazon.com/dp/0890899789/ is a good start.

And http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=Russ%20Versteeg&ie=UTF8&search-alias=books&sort=relevancerank would make nice small collection by the same author (no need for the sports law though)

And Logos ALREADY has a nice volume on judaic law: https://www.logos.com/product/3049/jewish-law (which is a bit pricey and wrong period)

And to send our forumites into instant apoplexy, the publisher of the above legal-beagle volumes is of value to Logos, to explore other volumes (Durham NC):

I know. They don't look very guy-ish.
