Scribal culture : and the making of the Hebrew Bible
Toorn, K. van der2007
Books, Manuscripts
We think of the Hebrew Bible as the Book, and yet it was produced by a largely non-literate culture in which writing, editing, copying, interpretation, and public reading were the work of a professional elite. The scribes of ancient Israel are indeed the main figures behind the Hebrew Bible, and this text tells their story.
