History of scrolls : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of scrolls
A scroll (from the Old French ''escroe'' or ''escroue''), is a roll of papyrus, parchment, or paper containing writing.〔Beal, Peter. (2008) "scroll" in ''A Dictionary of English Manuscript Terminology 1450–2000'' Online edition. Oxford University Press, 2008. http://www.oxfordreference.com Retrieved 21 November 2013.〕 The history of scrolls dates back to ancient Egypt. In most ancient literate cultures scrolls were the earliest format for longer documents written in ink or paint on a flexible background, preceding bound books; rigid media such as clay tablets were also used but had many disadvantages in comparison. For most purposes scrolls have long been superseded by the codex book format, but they are still produced for some ceremonial or religious purposes, notably for the Jewish Torah scroll for use in synagogues. ==Origins in Europe and West Asia==
Scrolls were the first form of editable record keeping texts, used in Eastern Mediterranean ancient Egyptian civilizations. Parchment scroll was used by several early civilizations before the codex or bound book with pages was invented by the Latins in the 1st century AD. Nevertheless, scrolls were more highly regarded than codices until well into Roman times where they were usually written in single latitudinal column.
