Scrolls and codices constitute early forms of books, of which the term bible is derived from - book. The term bible also signifies a collection of books, and so a collection of scrolls or codices containing Holy Scripture were the historical form of the Bible, in both Hebrew and Christian forms of usage.

The codex book (codices being books), is familiar to us today , as it has flat pages bound together within a cover. The codex form of the Gospel or Bible was adopted by Christians for its expediency of use during Liturgy proceedings, and was responsible for its prevalence in society during its early stage of growth during the first century.

Reference scroll and codex for history; Apostle and Saint Icons to observe them with the scroll or codex Gospel.
