Oldest, Longest Ancient Egyptian Leather Manuscript so far
Story from SEP 14, 2015
The structure and contents of Egyptian religious texts - funerary texts in particular such as the Book of the Dead (Book of Coming Forth By Day) - always suggested that some kind of master reference books were being used. This leather roll may be an example of such a book.
