		The Greeks inherited the folding pair of wax tablets, along with the leather scroll and the Phoenician alphabet, in the mid-eighth century.

	Diptychs by Dof
		At its simplest, a waxed tablet is a piece of wood with a wax-filled recess; using a metal-tipped implement, one writes on the tablet by scratching the surface of the wax, which is darkened for greater contrast.
		Tablets can be seen on red- and fl-figure Attic vases from the Classical period in Greece, and their use as everyday writing implements was continuous all over Europe until at least the late fifteenth century.
		The waxed tablet was used in correspondence, in teaching, as official or legal records, as a workspace for drafting speeches or other writings, as a platform for working mathematical proofs, and no doubt for all sorts of more ephemeral purposes.
