"Writing and inscriptions" is a book category that covers the origins, systems, forms and material traces of written communication—from ancient cuneiform tablets and Egyptian hieroglyphs to medieval manuscripts, monumental stone or metal inscriptions, graffiti and contemporary calligraphy. It includes studies of scripts and writing systems (linguistic structure and evolution), paleography and epigraphy (methods for reading, dating and interpreting texts carved or written on durable media), as well as the cultural, social and historical contexts in which writing was produced and used. The category spans archaeological reports, decipherment and corpora of inscriptions, practical manuals on handwriting and calligraphy, and interdisciplinary works on literacy, book history, conservation and the role of inscriptional evidence in reconstructing past societies.
