Zusatztext Scribes and Scribalism is a nicely edited collection of essays … that contributes advances the increasingly trendy research about ancient scribes and scribalism. Informationen zum Autor Mark Leuchter is Director of Jewish Studies, Assistant Professor of Religion, Temple University , USA. Zusammenfassung This volume is a concentrated examination of the varied roles of scribes and scribal practices in ancient Israel and Judah, shedding light on the social world of the Hebrew Bible. Divided into discussion of three key aspects, the book begins by assessing praxis and materiality, looking at the tools and materials used by scribes, where they came from and how they worked in specific contexts. The contributors then move to observe the power and status of scribal cultures, and how scribes functioned within their broader social world. Finally, the volume offers perspectives that examine ideological issues at play in both antiquity and the modern context(s) of biblical scholarship. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that no text is produced in a void, and no writer functions without a network of resources.
