Abstract

Between the third and the sixth centuries, books changed in many aspects. The elements inherited from the scroll format disappeared and gave way to new forms, shifting from squarish format towards the golden ratio, moving initials from the beginning of a page to the beginning of text section, new scripts appeared.
