Description
The Birth of the Codex by Colin H. Roberts and T. C. Skeat In 1954, C.H. Roberts explored how the roll gave way to the codex as the primary format for literature in early centuries. New evidence has since shed new light on these changes, prompting a re-examination of the role played by the early Church in this transformation. This book offers a fresh perspective on the codex's development, presenting alternative explanations for its significance in the transition from roll to codex. First published in paperback, it provides an opportunity to engage with the latest research and insights into this pivotal moment in book history. 88 pages, paperback binding.
