Summary/Abstract: Marek Stępień’s book intends to present the position of the ensi, a crucial official in the provincial administration of the Ur III state. The ensi was the basis of local authority, and he certainly deserves a separate study, especially as there have been no such attempts lately. The main concerns of the book are the economic and administrative aspects of his position. Apart from them, the reader may also learn about the social setting of his position, which is connected with his family (Chapter 5) – an interesting part of the study.
