How did they write on scrolls?
Many people think that the ancients wrote down the scroll, so that the writing was continuous from one end to the other. Hollywood films have even shown orders being read out from scrolls held in this manner, with one roll at the top and one at the bottom. If you visualise a scroll as you would write on it, you would see that this is almost impossible, because you would have to reach over the roll to write on the papyrus. Scrolls were written with the rolls to the right and left of the writer (and it should be noted that the Hebrew language is written from right to left). This means that the text is written in pages, much as a modern book is, with margins between each page, from beginning to end. The fact that scrolls were actually written in pages made it easy to move to the next step and invent the codex, or modern bound book, a step known to have been taken before 90 CE.
What are the different types of writings in the bible?
