The Preservation. of Rolls .or
_ Folded Sheets.
It ~was T only when writing was
made upon separate Mpic
sheets, of pliable and ~perishable
- material that binding proper was in-
of
vented to hold the pieces or sheets:
together and give strength to them
- and protection and beauty.
But, says the Fortnightly Review,
we must distinguish. The pliable:
written sheet may be.either rol'ed
or folded, each giving rise to a form
of binding peeuliar to itself. The
rolled sheet is: bound by: fastening
each ~sheet to the other sideways and
- rolling the whole from end to end,
the last sheet serving as a cover to
all the rest. This form of binding
is no:doubt the more ancient 6f the
two, and it was a long time in
general use. 1t was used, for ex-
ample, by the Egyptians "it was
probably invented by them "and it
~~ was used by the Greeks and T by the
Romans, and great libraries of rolls
existed for some time after the
Christian era, and many industries
~ were engaged in contributing to the
perfection of the binding. It has,
however, been T superseded for many
wenturies by the: folded form T of
literature, the invention of which is
attributed to Eumenes,. king of
_-Pergamus (from whom, too, comes.
our parchment, or. skin, prepared T
for writing on), in the third century
before Christ. oBut, if the form has
disappeared, the terminology of the.
ag rolt has survived, and the word
- oyolume, � originally a thing that is
~ rolled or wound up, i. e.,-a roll, is
- = now applied indiscriminately to its
Substitute, the book
sheets.
The folded � sheet, or ieetion: as it
is called, is bound by simply. sew-
- ing or Otherwise fastening the parts
.- of the sheets to one ~another. at the
_. back crease or fold, and a number of
of | folded
. sections are bound: oby ~fastening
each of them to some common sup-
- portat the back, so that whén all; ".
are séwa. or.other wise fastened they A
