📜 Poet's Scrolls ~ Manuscripts
Definition: In Western traditions, scroll manuscripts were prevalent from antiquity through the early medieval period. Typically composed of parchment or papyrus sheets joined horizontally, these scrolls were used for religious texts, legal documents, and literary works. The content was often written in columns, and readers would unroll the scroll from one end while rolling it up at the other, facilitating sequential reading. Over time, the scroll format gave way to the codex (book form), which offered easier navigation and storage. Artistic and Cultural Significance Scroll manuscripts are not merely vessels for text or images; they represent a fusion of literary and visual arts. The format allows for a unique storytelling experience, guiding the viewer through a narrative both spatially and temporally. In East Asian traditions, the act of unrolling a scroll is ceremonial, inviting reflection and a deeper connection with the content. Understanding scroll manuscripts offers insight into the diverse ways cultures have recorded, preserved, and experienced art and literature. Their enduring legacy continues to influence contemporary artistic practices and bookmaking techniques.
