And yet, we've reverted to the scroll. Just digital and vertical now

Wasn’t it the early Christian’s who more so popularized the codex? Perhaps Roman Christian’s?

[@SamuelLanghorn]

nice to see the palm leave medium, but not mentioning China on a discourse on book history is unacceptable 😞 I still like the introduction when you talked about the Sumerian clay tablet. Next time I will file my taxes I will have to think about the tablet you introduced with such a romantic overtone 🙂

She says "It helps us explore the global history of writing, of text, or reading and sharing stories" ...and then proceeds to exclusively talk about the history *_Western_* books. The only mentions of Middle Eastern things, are those that Western books directly descended from, and there is no mention of any kind, of anything in East Asia. Just a brief mention of palm leaf books, as if that was the only other kind of book, aside from Western ones.

There are many Oriental works contained within the State Library of Victoira. Trust me, I'd know as I've visited many a time to look at them.

@@OccidentalAryan ...which makes their complete absence in this video, all the more inexcusable.
