Abstract
This book analyses written artefacts integrating diverse languages and scripts. It investigates scribal practices, shedding light on multicultural communities and regions with intersecting writing traditions. The essays cover various domains, from everyday life to scholarship and political propaganda, challenging the perception of multilingualism and multiscriptism as exceptions in writing cultures.
