Description
Summary:This article challenges suggestions that knowledge of Akkadian literary texts was mediated to biblical writers through the scribal culture of Late Bronze Age (LB) Canaan. Its conclusions are based on what is known about scribal education in LB Canaan, the contents of the archives of Ugarit, and analyses of literary borrowing (hybridity) used in post-colonial studies. LB Canaanite scribes were able to resist the cultural influences that result in hybridity because their political circumstances differed from those under which the authors of biblical texts operated.\n4207 Nous procédons à l’examen critique de ce que la connaissance de textes littéraire akkadiens soit parvenue aux écrivains bibliques par le biais des scribes Cananéens du Bronze récent (BR). Nos conclusions s’appuient sur ce qui est connu de la formation des scribes en Canaan du BR, sur le contenu des archives d’Ugarit et sur l’analyse du phénomène des emprunts littéraires (hybridité), – analyse développée dans les recherches dites post-coloniales. Les scribes Cananéens du BR étaient capable de résister aux influences culturelles, cause de l’hybridité, parce que l’environnement politique différait de celui des auteurs des textes bibliques.\n4207 \n4207
