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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004765409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004765405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Katherine Davis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50845980557567,"sku":"9789004765405","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-knowledge-katherine-davis-9789004765405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
