![]() For this reconstruction, I use sheets of papyrus cut to a size of approximately 8.5in x 11in since this falls within the range of authentic ancient dimensions. It is also helpful to be familiar with the measurements of scrolls. A ‘kollesis’ is the join between kollema, or, in other words, the place where the individual sheets that make up a scroll have been glued together. The term ‘kollema’ refers to a single sheet of papyrus out of the entire assembled scroll. Since scrolls are made up of many individual sheets of papyrus fixed together, there are special names for these parts of the roll as well. Bookrolls and Scribes in Oxyrhynchus Plate 17 - Click to enlarge // Credit: William Johnson (see bibliography) Since they can separate as they are bent, it is easier and less damaging to the scroll to roll it with them on the outside. This is because the vertical fibers are more flexible, pulling apart slightly when the scroll is curved with them on the outside. The verso is typically the outside of the roll. The ‘verso’ is the side of the papyrus with vertical fibers. The recto is typically the interior, writing, side of the papyrus. The ‘recto’ is the side with horizontal fibers. The key parts of a scroll are the recto, verso, kollema, and kollesis.īecause of the manner in which they are made, sheets of papyrus typically have two different sides – one with fibers running horizontally, and the other with fibers running vertically. The Greeks and Romans used scrolls from the introduction of writing in around the 8th-6th centuries all the way through approximately the 4th century when they moved on to the codex.Ĭonsequently, a great way to explore the culture and practices surrounding the ancient literary world is to create one for yourself!īefore making a scroll, it is best to become familiar with the terminology of how they are constructed. If they advertised these squares as “Stiletto – now part of the Milwaukee family”, they will sell tons.For much of antiquity, the scroll was the fundamental unit of literary transmission. I assume they will be good, but Craftsman has shown just recently that made in the US does not necessarily get you your money’s worth. Many of your Milwaukee USA tool articles, so many people already spent their paycheck buying these tools, without even holding them in their hands. ![]() ![]() They definitely have a cult following that confidently buy their products, and often are just middle of the road, but high priced. Milwaukee in the past 10 years or so has really done a great marketing job, where they are team red, have many Kool-Aid drinkers, and all the tools I saw were made in China and cost more than many made in the US tools. What was curious was that the Milwaukee tool usually was middle of the pack or just below. Dewalt, their generally closest competitor, was usually about 30% less. Sometimes higher than Klein and other very reputable makers, many that were more specialized in that tool. What really shocked me was that of all the brands per test video, Milwaukee was always very high priced (I know sales can be had, but same with the other products). Amazing, how Empire, a company that has made their bread & butter levels and squares forever, and a jack of all trades (master of none) company like Milwaukee = better.Īfter your Malco Eagle Grip article, in which someone commented on Project Farm’s test, including the Malco’s, I went and watched about a dozen of his videos mainly various pliers and cutters.
