Description:

The earliest surviving fragments from codices come from Egypt,.
As early as the early 2nd century, there is evidence that a codex—usually of papyrus—was the preferred format among Christians.

In Western culture, the codex gradually replaced the scroll. Between the 4th century, when the codex gained wide acceptance, and the Carolingian Renaissance in the 8th century, many works that were not converted from scroll to codex were lost.
