Description

This scholarly work examines translation practices in ancient Babylonia during the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE, focusing on how scribes employed analogical hermeneutics to create meaningful correspondences between languages using cuneiform writing. The text explores the sophisticated methods ancient scholar-scribes used to demonstrate their expertise by leveraging phonologic, graphemic, semantic, and other interlingual resemblances. Part of the Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Records series (volume 22) published by De Gruyter, this book investigates how scribal education systematized translation practices and interpretative activities grounded in analogical reasoning. It provides essential insight into the intellectual practices that shaped early written communication and scribal traditions in the ancient Near East, offering researchers and students a comprehensive examination of how language, writing, and education intersected in one of history's earliest literate civilizations.
