I've always wondered what Paul meant when he told Timothy:

2 Timothy 4:13

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.

I think he probably had copies of the Old Testament writings that he carried with him as much as possible.

Paul may well have been the most educated man in the world at the time. He was a well schooled Pharisee Rabbi, and a member of the Sanhedrin until his salvation on the Damascus road. He most likely carried the complete scrolls of the masoretic OT.
