Description
Writing on the Tablet of the Heart: Origins of Scripture and Literature, by David M. Carr. New York/Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005. Pp. xiv + 330. $65.00 (hardcover). ISBN 0195172973 This is a remarkable analysis and critical discussion of the interrelation in antiquity of literacy and orality in the formation of the literatures of the peoples of the ancient Near East, including the Sumero-Akkadian, Egyptian, West Semitic, Early Jewish, Greek, and Hellenistic, with references to relevant manuscripts from Qumran. It is probably the most complete gathering in one place of data culled from recent scholarly literature on the West Asian and Eastern Mediterranean cultures relating to modes of education of the young in biblical antiquity. It will undoubtedly be the touchstone of reference to such studies in the foreseeable future.
