{"product_id":"writing-knowledge-9789004765405","title":"Writing Knowledge","description":"\u003ci\u003eWriting Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e explores how ancient students and scholars learned to write and become expert in the Egyptian language during the last millennium of native script use (c. 700 BCE – 300 CE). This study analyzes late “technical” texts from two different writing contexts: grammatical paradigms and alphabetic texts produced within scribal schools and word and sign handbooks produced within elite priestly circles. These case studies, each paired with a close cultural analysis of the contexts of their production, provide new insights into writing as a field of knowledge, one whose parameters are defined by ancient Egyptian concepts, rather than one circumscribed by either the Greek grammatical tradition or by modern disciplines like linguistics.","brand":"Katherine Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48415403409659,"sku":"9789004765405","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/writing-knowledge-9789004765405","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
