Ancient Egypt, 12th dynasty. 1981–1802 B.C. More info.

Gessoed boards were used for writing notes or school exercises. Like the slate writing tablets of yesteryear, they could be used repeatedly, with old texts being whitewashed to provide a “clean slate” for another. This board still bears traces of earlier writing (at left). The main text is a wordy model letter that the student copied—and surely also was expected to memorize. His many spelling mistakes have been corrected in red ink by the teacher.

Lyrics:
A la fin cette bergere
Sent les maux que j\’ay souffers,
Et sa foy jadis legere
Perd ce tiltre dans ses fers :
Nous vivons soubs mesme loy
Puis que je la tiens à moy.

Non, je n\’ay plus cette crainte
Que j\’avois par le passé :
Car Phillis se trouve atteinte
De ce trait qui m\’a blessé.
Nous vivons.

Mes feux ont produit sa flame
Qui me rend esgal aux dieux,
Et l\’amour est dans son ame,
Qui n\’estoit que dans ses yeux.
Nous vivons.

Mon amour recompensée
N\’aura plus de desplaisir,
Nous n\’avons qu\’une pensée,
Qu\’un vouloir, & qu\’un desir.
Et vivons.
