I’m looking for a Greek word meaning a loose collection of pages. Preferably classical Greek.
Some context. “The Bible” in modern language is a specific* holy book. Following it’s history back we find it used to be many books and that our word comes from Greek for The (holy) book{s}.
Now I want, for my own purposes, to coin a word for a personal collection of writings important to my view of the world. A bible, but one intentionally open to revision, more like a loose leaf binder, personalizable by each person, than a printed unchangeable book.
Looking at the history of books and the bible I realise there might not be a suitable word, since books started out as scrolls and stuff, but I’m hoping someone with a grasp of Greek can help me out. A word meaning “the scrolls” would work actually. I think.
*in many slightly different versions, but pretty much the same book.
