Eduba

An eduba (Sumerian: 𒂍𒁾𒁀𒀀, romanized: e2-dub-ba-a, lit. 'house where tablets are passed out') 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. Most of the information known about edubas comes from cuneiform texts dating to the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE).
