Eduba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An eduba[lower-alpha 1] (Sumerian: ππΎππ, romanized: E2-DUB-ba-a, lit.β'house which distributes tablets'[citation needed]) is a scribal school for the Sumerian language. The eduba was the institution that trained and educated young scribes in ancient Mesopotamia during the late third or early second millennium BCE.[1] Most of the information known about edubas comes from cuneiform texts dating to the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE).
