May 9 at 16:11 comment added Dan Moore Thanks, @DanFefferman. Agreed, am not trying to argue for early codex formats, but am just exploring the possibility that Paul might be intentionally distinguishing between two categories of literary works.

May 9 at 15:34 comment added Dan Fefferman Many translators render the term τὰ βιβλία as "scrolls" or "papyrus rolls". This would explain why they are distinguished from "parchments." Books as we think of the term had not been invented yet. This doesn't help with the main question, except perhaps to make Brickle's hypothesis a bit less likely.
