biblical scrolls
Ancient holy texts
Biblical scrolls are ancient manuscripts of scripture written on rolled parchment or papyrus, particularly those containing books of the Hebrew Bible or early Christian texts.
The term evokes both the physical form of pre-codex religious documents and their sacred significance: The Dead Sea Scrolls included biblical scrolls dating back over two thousand years.
Today, handwritten Torah scrolls remain central to Jewish liturgical practice.
