Two notes:
--"tas membranas" (2 Tim 4:13) may in fact = not merely parchment but 
parchment *codices*.
--The use of the codex for Christian writings is quite early (as 
early as any identifiably Christian materials surviving), *far* 
earlier than outside Christian circles,  and may well have begun in 
the lst cent.
