Best Answer

The Scribes changed the communication medium from scroll to leather bound books. Note that that medium did not change until well after Christ walked the earth. There is not historical date of the change from scrolls to paper. The change was associated with the available medium in the specific country or location, and not globally based upon a date, such as the release of some technical device nowadays.
