scrolls
scrolls Rolls of
papyrus (which was grown in
Egypt) used for writing. They were sometimes made of leather, from which mistakes were more difficult to erase, and this was the preferred material for the scrolls of the Dead Sea
Qumran community. Pens were made from rushes.
The Church adopted the
codex in preference to scrolls.
