Shlama,
I could be wrong but I believe the medium of codex was used in the first and second centuries - didn't the Roman poet Martialis use or compile a codex? He lived during the first century. The main method of writing was on scrolls and single sheets of parchment or papryi wasn't it? Would it be out of order to think that sheets were compiled into a single volume? Curios.
