As writing became more common/popular,
Еще вариант: As writing gained wide currency in the Middle Ages,
In early biblical literature sefer could refer to any written text, although as writing <u>became more common</u> in later periods a more developed vocabulary begins to distinguish between different kinds of written documents.
