Exercices de deux scribes à Khirbet Qumrân: KhQ 161 et KhQ 2207

This note takes up again the study of scribal exercises found at Khirbet Qumran. KhQ 161 testifies to a unique sequence of letters beginning with the second half of the 22 letters with the scribe’s signature. The remains of KhQ 2207 shows a scribe’s writing exercise with sentences of quite different matters. Both of them attest the presence of scribes experimenting with their art.
