Big 💡moments in history

"Hey! What if we cut that scroll into pieces and sew them all together on one side, so that a reader can easily jump straight into the middle?"

Main benefit: Random access to information (dictionaries, encyclopedias, tables of contents, indices, etc).

Side benefit: reduction in repetitive strain injuries from unrolling scrolls.

Does anyone on the fediverse know enough #Armenian to translate this page from my family bible?

Also, any religious scholars who might be able to tell me about what's on these pages?

Boosts very welcome so I can reach people in #Scholar and #Codicology circles.
