الوصف: In 1972, Alessandro Roccati edited in the Revue d’égyptologie another witness of theso-called “Legend of Anat,” mainly known through the version on the verso ofP. Chester Beatty VII. According to Roccati, the Turin copy of the text is written in a “trèsbelle onciale de la XIXe dynastie.” The handwriting of the “scribe of the Legend of Anat”from Turin is indeed very skillfull and regular, and therefore highly recognizable. In theframework of the international project “Crossing Boundaries: Understanding ComplexScribal Practices in Ancient Egypt,” it has been possible to spot many other fragments thatwere written a priori by the same scribe, based on the handwriting. The purpose of thispaper is to discuss, through the case study of the “scribe of the Legend of Anat,” how tocharacterize a scribe’s individual handwriting. Among the fragments that are supposedto be part of a same “paleographical cluster,” one can observe a range ofvariations that include – non exhaustively – the ductus, the general shape of thesigns, their size or their inclination. Those variations let the question open whether or notall the fragments were written by the same scribe, or could just belong to the same“paleographical tradition,” that we can try to track in the socio-cultural landscape of Deir el-Medina.
