Description

Explore the complex world of ancient scribal practices with Translation as Scholarship: Language, Writing, and Bilingual Education in Ancient Babylonia. This academic volume, part of the Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Records (SANER) series, examines how scribes in the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE approached translation. Rather than simple word-for-word exchanges, the text reveals how scribes used phonologic, graphemic, and semantic resemblances to demonstrate their mastery of cuneiform writing. By utilizing analogical hermeneutics, these scholar-scribes engaged in deep interpretative activities grounded in analogical reasoning. This book provides a detailed look at how scribal education systematized these practices, allowing for a sophisticated use of the cuneiform script in interlingual spaces. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of the Middle East, ancient linguistics, and the development of bilingual education in antiquity.
