Abstract

Little of what was undoubtedly a vast store of written letters and legal documents from the kingdom of Judah has been preserved in the archaeological record. Although a number of inscriptions marked on ostraca and seals have been found from the Iron Age, it may safely be assumed that the great majority of texts were written on scrolls or papyri that did not survive. The sources refer to these scribal records, but we must assume that they have been lost forever. All that remains of these texts are the clay sealings, or “bullae,” that were once attached to them.Bullae
