Notes:
Another interesting parallel is that when the writing is difficult, the person of the scribe is very important. So here we see that on the Rosetta stone the scribe is mentioned by the beautiful scribe symbol - an inkwell for black and red ink with a connected pen - very near to the king's name - which is marked by the so-called cartuche. Similarly the compiler group we just saw, included a scribe, Kirsten Andersen, and her presence made it possible to create a beautiful and enduring artifact that we are examining today. And of course I would call Prof. Naur the king of the enterprise.
