F you all. I did my research, and I'm stuck.
On wiki, it said that a codex is a form of book, but could also be a scroll. I was just confused.

My thought is why don't you put the word Codex into your search engine and find out for sure. I already know the answer, but that won't help you learn anything. And in the time it took to write this question, you could have had your response.

"C" - It was a Roman invention that replaced the scroll and became the first type of book in all Eurasian cultures. It had individual written pages which were bound together with a cover.
