ABSTRACT
So far I have considered the book, or rather the roll, only as a single unit. Dealing with multiple works, as any highly literate person does, increases the problems of organization from that of the word within the text to the next level of texts within texts (multiple selections within the same unit), and finally to the highest level of separate texts that in sufficient numbers warrant a kind of storage developed specifically for them. This chapter focuses on the acquisition and arrangement of multiple texts, both literary and documentary, and the nature of access to them in antiquity.
