Summary/Abstract: The subjects of the review are two books by Jerzy Skorupka, devoted to the most ancienthistory of the common criminal trial. The first deals with the origins of law, relating thiscaesura to the law of the states of ancient Mesopotamia, while the second focuses on thecriminal trials of ancient Greece. Both publications consider the political, social, economic,and cultural context of the functioning of criminal justice at the time. Their cognitive qual-ities and the unprecedentedness in the Polish legal literature of such a thorough descriptionof the Babylonian and Greek roots of the criminal process are essential reasons for recom-mending these important publications, which make up a series of further planned books onthe continuing history of the criminal process.
