SCROLLS Meaning and
Definition
-
Scrolls are historical documents or pieces of literature that are rolled up in a cylindrical form. They have been used for centuries as a means of recording and preserving important information. Scrolls are typically made from materials such as papyrus, vellum, or paper, and are often adorned with ornate decorations and inscriptions.
The process of reading a scroll involves unrolling it from one end while rolling up the other end, allowing the reader to view the text sequentially. Scrolls may contain various types of content, including religious texts, legal codes, literature, or personal writings. They are primarily associated with ancient civilizations such as those of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome, where they were commonly used before the advent of the codex or book format.
In addition to their historical significance, scrolls are also valued for their artistic and aesthetic qualities. Many ancient scrolls feature intricate illustrations, calligraphy, or elaborate borders, showcasing the cultural and artistic achievements of the time in which they were created.
With the advancement of technology, the use of scrolls as a medium of documentation and communication has largely been replaced by books and digital formats. However, scrolls continue to hold an important place in museums, libraries, and private collections as valuable relics of the past, offering a glimpse into the knowledge and culture of ancient civilizations.

Etymology of SCROLLS
The word "scrolls" originated from Old French "escroue" or "scroue", which derived from the Latin word "scrofa" meaning sow or pig, due to the resemblance of a rolled-up pig's tail. Later, it evolved in Middle English to "scrowe" or "scrowl", and eventually became "scroll" as we know it today.
