Transportation of Manuscripts in Medieval Times

There is a nice post with great photos by Erik Kwakkel at Medievalbooks about the transportation of medieval books, including many Bibles, in bags, boxes, various types of containers and wraps: Box It, Bag It, Wrap It: Medieval Books on the Go

    I'm sure I should know the answer to this, but is there much we can know about how big codices like Vaticanus would have been bound originally? I don't imagine it was with leather like the Nag Hammadi codices.
