Description
This book examines the process by which the Codex--the traditional form of the western book--replaced the scroll as the primary vehicle for literature. Drawing upon evidence accumulated in the last thirty years, this edition gives insight into the role the early Christian church played in the transformation of the printed word. --From publisher's description.
