Book Synopsis Bookrolls and Scribes in Oxyrhynchus by : William Allen Johnson
Book excerpt: Close analysis of formal and conventional features of the bookrolls not only provides detailed information on the bookroll industry- but also, in turn, suggests some intriguing questions and provisional answers about the ways in which the use and function of the bookroll among ancient readers may differ from modern or medieval practice.
