The scribes consist of Paheri, Senenmut, Tjanuni, Amenemhat, Tutankhamun, Haremhab, Dedia, Inena, Hori, and Djehutimose Tjaroy, and chapters address issues like their tasks, literacy (including royal and women’s literacy), criteria for the term of scribe, its role beyond the administrative realm, and the boundaries between scribes and draughtsmen and soldiers. The first chapter addresses the material aspect of writing. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
