Etymology

() English from the 14th century, from Middle Latin biblia (“book”) (reinterpreted as a feminine from earlier Latin neuter plural biblia (“books”)) Ancient Greek βιβλία (biblia, “books”), plural of βιβλίον (biblion, “small book”), originally a diminutive of βίβλος (biblos, “book”) βύβλος (bublos, “papyrus”) (from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material). Old English used biblioðece (from βιβλιοθήκη) for "the Scriptures".
