			A '''scroll''' is a long strip of [[paper]], [[parchment]], [[papyrus]] or a similar material used for writing, usually mounted on a pair of [[spindle]]s for ease of handling. Scrolls could often be dozens of feet in length -- text was written in columns crossing the width of the scroll itself, allowing for more convenient reading.

			Scrolls are more unwieldy than the [[codex\|codices]] that replaced them, and are a less efficient use of paper. Because of this, a single large document (the [[Bible]], for example) would have required multiple scrolls to accommodate it. Each scroll in such a collection was referred to as a "[[book]]", from which we derive the the modern usage.

			In the SCA, award documents are commonly referred to as "scrolls". These are too small to be considered [[period]] scrolls, not being mounted on spindles and being, at most, two or three feet in length. In [[period]] these would have more probably been referred to as [[roll]]s.
	Many SCA [[award]]s are usually accompanied by or consist of a scroll, detailing the honour received and often what the recipient has done to deserve it. Scrolls are created by that paragon of selflessness, the [[scribe]].

Depending on your [[kingdom]]/region, and the level of the [[award]], scrolls can vary from computer print-outs colored in with magic marker, to customized professional quality [[illumination]].
