Summary/Abstract: Middle Assyrian Laws (MAL) are a Mesopotamian law collection created approximately in the 12th century BC in Assur (now Qal’at Sherqat in Iraqi Kurdistan). The text contains a Polish translation and a commentary concerning the first tablet of this collection, MAL A (VAT 10000 = KAV 001). Tablet MAL A (also known as Frauenspiegel) consists of laws con- cerning women, and women in it are either perpetrators or victims of crimes. This document offers a unique insight into contemporary Middle Assyrian and Mesopotamian societies as it covers a wide range of issues like theft, assault, adultery and rape, homosexuality, marriage, and family law.
