Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Demotic Egyptian Papyri and the Formation of the Hebrew Bible

Participants of a memorable workshop on “Scribes in Late Period
Egypt, Babylonia, and Yehud/Judea” (Sept 5-8, 2024)

We were delighted to host an inspiring group of scholars at Humboldt University for our third DEMBIB workshop. The intense summer heat, with temperatures soaring to 34°C, along with some challenges with the air conditioning, made the event all the more memorable. Yet, it was the thought-provoking presentations and vibrant discussions that truly defined these days. The interdisciplinary exchanges between experts in Late Babylonia, Egypt, and Yehud significantly enriched our understanding of scribal cultures in these regions. Our heartfelt thanks to all participants for their enthusiasm and invaluable contributions – it was a pleasure to learn and engage with you!
