Scribes and Schools in Monarchic Judah: A Socio-Archaeological Approach

By David Jamieson-Drake and David W. Jamieson-Drake

Book Overview

The question of the existence and nature of scribal institutions in ancient Israel has up to now been debated primarily on literary grounds. In placing the question of scribes and schools in a socio-archaeological context, as the present study does, this problem is reformulated. The focus shifts from the question of the prevalence of literary skills to the broader question of the function of those skills within ancient society.
