The fifteen articles published in this volume are the written versions of papers presented during the International Symposium "Palaeography and Scribal Practices in Syro-Palestine and Anatolia in the Late Bronze Age", which was held in Leiden on 17th-18th December 2009. This book provides an up-to-date overview on the scribal traditions current in that region during the 15th-12th centuries BCE and gives new impetus to their study.
