Egyptian Scribes

[@RamessesIX]

When we look at finer examples of hieratic and semi-cursive, even the work of beginners on certain writing boards, we can see that not every scribe wrote with a "brush" as described by Breasted and Ibscher. When the script is high contrast and the thick and thin lines are at right angles to each other, on close inspection, it is easy enough for a calligrapher or cartoonist to see that the rush was often carved, not frayed. Specialist scribes evidently had more sophisticated writing equipment.

Scribes were often far more than mere calligraphers or stenographers, they were entrusted and knowledgeable secretaries and men of influence.
