Why did the codex replace the scroll?
Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the shift from scrolls to codexes in ancient times? Was it primarily due to advancements in papermaking or was there a more pressing need for a more efficient and durable form of writing material? Were there any other factors, such as cultural or religious preferences, that contributed to this transition? And how did this change impact the dissemination of knowledge and the preservation of historical records?
