Cuneiform Culture's Last Guardians: The Old Urban Notability of Hellenistic Uruk
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis article focuses on cuneiform culture and the three separate but related aspects of scribal activity in Uruk during the Hellenistic period. It considers the cuneiform scribe as a representative of the old urban notability in the context of that specific social group and its links to the temples and the Hellenistic kings and describes the legal activities of both the cuneiform scribe and the alphabet scribe working on leather and the closely related role of the Babylonian temples as courts of justice. It also explores the interaction between alphabetic and cuneiform cultures by focusing on the so-called Graeco-Babyloniaca.
