| 词条 | The Satire of the Trades |
| 释义 |
DescriptionIt describes a number of trades in an exaggeratedly negative light, extolling the advantages of the profession of scribe. It is generally considered to be a satire, though Helck thought it reflected the true attitude of the scribal class towards manual labourers.[3] It was written during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, between 2025 and 1700 BC. [4] The text has survived in its entirety, but extremely corrupted, in the Sallier II Papyrus written during the Nineteenth Dynasty, which is kept at the British Museum. A number of fragments are kept at the British Museum, the Louvre, the Pierpont Morgan Library, and other institutions.[5] It was one of the texts most frequently copied by students during the Ramesside Period. Use of the Satire in Ben SiraThis Egyptian tale is referenced by Ben Sira in the Deuterocanonical Book of Sirach at {{bibleref|Sirach|38:24–39:11}}.[6] References
