From Pentecost 1812 to autumn 1821 he attended the grammar school in Darmstadt, irregular due to illness. Already determined for the spiritual status, he decided himself only after a lecture on encyclopedia and methodology by Ernst Zimmermann in the winter semester 1819/20 and studied Protestant theology at the University of Giessen from 1821 to 1824 , with Johann Ernst Christian Schmidt , Christian Gottlieb Kühnöl , Karl Christian Palmer (1759–1838), Ludwig Adam Dieffenbach (1772–1843), Heinrich Friedrich Pfannkuche and Eduard Friedrich Schulz as well as the lecturers Seebold, Hillebrand, Nebel, Zimmermann and Rumpf.

In 1824 he passed the faculty examination (1st state examination) and returned to Darmstadt, where he studied the Old and New Testament, taught Hebrew and in 1825 passed the final examination. With K. Bernhard, Friedrich Hesse, Ernst Ludwig August Huth (1804–1874) and Ernst Ludwig Ritsert (1800–1843) he formed a theological association. He headed a reading society for candidates for the ministry that had emerged from this for five years. 1826-27 he worked as a religion teacher at the girls' free school in Darmstadt and in the private school of his friend Johann Wilhelm Ernst Wägner . Then he and his friend Friedrich August Schäffer (* 1800) took over this teaching institution and another of Johann Wilhelm Heyer. In autumn 1829 they combined their school with K. Heumann, K. Lanz and A. Weiß to form a general preparatory school for grammar school and secondary school.

After a brief activity as vicar at Seeheim, he managed the parish of Hahn and the diaconate of Pfungstadt from July 1833 until he was employed as a pastor in Messel on June 24, 1836. There he married Karoline Hill (1817–1875), daughter of Johann Peter Hill, pastor in Pfungstadt. The following are named as children of this marriage: (1) Gustav (1837–1884), District Judge; (2) Eduard (1840–1900), District Court Director in Darmstadt, and (3) Maximilian (1846–1904), Higher Regional Court Counselor.

In 1844 he was promoted to Dr. phil. hc, on May 6, 1850 appointed pastor of Niederbeerbach . He died there in 1857 due to a nervous disease in connection with a stroke.

Scriba worked as a regional historian and in 1862 was a founding member of the Historical Association for the Grand Duchy of Hesse and a member of the Literary Association of Darmstadt. He was also an honorary or corresponding member of the historical associations of Kassel, Dresden and Würzburg as well as the Geographical Association of Darmstadt.
