How long were traditional scrolls?[edit]

When I'm thinking about a "scroll", in the traditional sense, what length of text should I be thinking about? Could they be made arbitrarily long, and rolled-up? When I hear that the Library of Alexandria had 400,000-700,000 scrolls, is that more like 500,000 pages, or 500,000 books? -- Creidieki 17:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the article?[edit]

The name "Scroll (parchment)" in not quite right name for this article, as this deals with scrolls, and they were not predominantely parchment but papyrus. I suggest this article to be the main article and others (see Scroll) for other uses? If nobody objects it, I will make the change in two weeks. --Aethralis 09:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
