A scroll is a long, continuous roll of paper, parchment, or other material used for writing or printing text. Unlike books with bound pages, a scroll consists of a single sheet or series of sheets rolled onto a spindle or dowel. To read a scroll, it is unrolled gradually from one end to reveal the text. Scrolls were commonly used in ancient and medieval times for recording documents, religious texts, and literature. They are often associated with historical or traditional manuscripts and are valued for their historical significance and unique format.
