Drawing comparisons with the scribal practices of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, van der Toorn details the methods, assumptions, and material means that gave rise to biblical texts. Traditionally seen as the copycats of antiquity, the scribes emerge here as the literate elite who held the key to the production and the transmission of texts. 606 $aJews$xHistory$yTo 70 A.D 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 676 $a221.6/6 686 $aBC 6025$2rvk 700 $aToorn$b K. van der$0474729 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455411103321 996 $aScribal culture and the making of the Hebrew Bible$9245396 997 $aUNINA
