Scribal Schools in Canaan

Charles at Awilum, quotes from a review of Wayne Horowitz and Takayoshi Oshima, Cuneiform in Canaan: Cuneiform Sources from the Land of Israel in Ancient Times by Yuram Cohen in the February 2008, BASOR. Charles has complete references. Please go read Charles' post and then, if you are inclined, check out one of my old posts on scribal schools in Late Bronze Age Canaan. Cohen correctly accuses Horowitz and Oshima of being overly skeptical scribal schools in MB and LB Canaan; you will see, for whatever it is worth, that I agree. Oh, by the way, my post on scribal schools in Late Bronze Age Canaan refers several times to a "next post" on the subject of scribal schools. A year and a half later and I haven't written that next post as yet. I have worried about it a lot!
