scribe (skrīb), Jewish scholar and teacher (called in Hebrew, Soferim) of law as based upon the Old Testament and accumulated traditions. The work of the scribes laid the basis for the Oral Law, as distinct from the Written Law of the Torah. The period of their activity is in doubt. They may have been active from the time of Ezra (c.444 B.C.) to that of Simeon the Just. In Talmudic literature, the term may be applied to any interpreter of the Law from Moses to the period just before the compilation of the Mishna Mishna , in Judaism, codified collection of Oral Law—legal interpretations of portions of the biblical books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy and other legal material.

No references found | The topics include approaches to biblical interpretation in The Dead Sea Scrolls by modern interpreters, the dream visions in the Noah story of the Genesis Apocryphon and related texts, geography and ideology in the Copper Scroll (3Q15), scribal exegesis, metaphorical familial language, a methodological critique of the reconstruction of 4QMMT, and Josephus on Judas the Galilean and the Essenes. Central to King's account is the interplay between scribal and print culture and its self-conscious exploitation by Foxe who, recognizing that the manuscript transcription and transmission of martyrological accounts lent authenticity to his printed narrative, took care to include the dramatic circumstances of their composition, circulation, and survival. The process of etching, with its hunched, almost scribal exertions, seems to draw Chagall closer to the biblical text than any other media, and his Bible Series--begun in the 1930s as a commission from Ambroise Vollard and completed in 1957--reveal an artist who intuitively senses the most private fears, dilemmas and joys of the characters in the Old Testament. |
