John Leon Leslie

Answer 2

In 3800 BC, in Babylonia, clay tablets were engraved with pointed instruments and left to dry in the sun. Later, Oriental scribes engraved palm leaves and kept them flat by pressing them between wooden boards. Scrolled books also appeared. In about the 6th century, Monks had perfected the high art of scribing words and binding books.

In more modern times, the invention of paper and of movable type in the Middle Ages prepared the way for books as we know them today.
