How woud an attack work? Spiral text as Rev. 6:14.
#63
In Revelation, the word "βιβλιον" was used. Originally,  in Greek it meant "papyrus", so implied a scroll of papyrus. Since in ancient times until the III c. scrolls were more widely used than books-codexes, besides, the Revelation itself was written on a papyrus scroll, it was more logically to translate the word βιβλιον as "scroll", I think.

It was to be translated in Latin as "volumen". Possibly, that was a mistake of translators, which didn't know history well, so they took the third (later) meaning of "βιβλιον" - liber, codex. And, I think, with time, it was understood that exactly a scroll is mentioned.
