In the Beginning Was the Word The Power and Glory of Illuminated Bibles Hardcover - 2003
by Fingernagel, Andreas
First line
The biblical texts of early Christianity were written, in Greek, on papyrus - in a manner distinctive of Bible production: the papyrus (almost) never assumes the form of a scroll, but is laid out as a codex, corresponding to the modern book.
