It demonstrates that early alphabetic curriculum developed at the end of the second millennium, while Egypt still ruled over Canaan and scribes used cuneiform as a lingua franca. This political and social context provides the background for the emergence of early alphabetic literacy in Israel. Using comparisons from Mesopotamia and Egypt, archaeological evidence, and fresh interpretations of old and new Hebrew inscriptions, this work pieces together the early Israelite scribal education. A basic principle in scribal literacy was the adaptation of their education for doing their day-to-day work as well as for the emergence of new literary genres. In this way, 'The Finger of the Scribe' illustrates the many ways in which scribal education shaped the writing of the Hebrew Bible itself. 000914327 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on September 17, 2019). 000914327 650_0 $$aHebrew language$$xWriting$$xStudy and teaching$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000914327 650_0 $$aScribes, Jewish$$xEducation. 000914327 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9780190052461 000914327 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000914327 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000914327 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190052461.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000914327 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:914327$$pGLOBAL_SET 000914327 980__ $$aEBOOK 000914327 980__ $$aBIB 000914327 982__ $$aEbook 000914327 983__ $$aOnline
