Библия

Russian

First attested 1499. Borrowed from Latin biblia, from Ancient Greek βιβλία (biblía, “books”), ultimately from Ancient Greek βίβλος (bíblos, “book”), a variant of Ancient Greek βύβλος (búblos, “papyrus”). The word is derived from the name of the Phoenician city Byblos, which was known for exporting papyri in ancient times.
