Living in a Culture of the Past: The Life and Work of a Scribe in Hellenistic Uruk

Abigail Hoskins

This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. The figure of the scribe is essential to any discussion of ancient Mesopotamian culture. Decades of careful research have allowed historians to paint a general portrait of the Mesopotamian scribe that can then be placed into historical narratives. But what about the individuals from whom this composite picture was created?
