Infos

This study investigates a fascinating cultural transfer: the communication of scribal knowledge and techniques among the cuneiform scribes in Late Bronze Age Syria and Anatolia. The investigation focuses especially on the scribes’ supposed training materials, the lexical lists, which, preserved in numerous manuscripts, were both the by-products and the core medium of this transfer.
