This book offers a fresh look at the status of the scribe in
society, his training, practices, and work in the biblical world.
What was the scribe's role in these societies? Were there rival
scribal schools? What was their role in daily life? How many
scripts and languages did they grasp? Did they master political and
religious rhetoric? Did they travel or share foreign traditions,
cultures, and beliefs? Were scribes redactors, or simply copyists?
What was their influence on the redaction of the Bible? How did
they relate to the political and religious powers of their day? Did
they possess any authority themselves? These are the questions that
were tackled during an international conference held at the
University of Strasbourg on June 17-19, 2019. The conference served
as the basis for this publication, which includes fifteen articles
covering a wide geographical and chronological range, from Late
Bronze Age royal scribes to refugees in Masada at the end of the
Second Temple period.
