Ezra the Scribe famously discovered a Torah Scroll and instituted public Torah readings on Shabat, Monday, and Thursday.
Are there any mentions of Torah Scrolls (specifically written) between Moshe and Ezra?

5Do you count mention of the Torah as written (plentiful, see for instance Melachim 1 2:3, "as it is written in the Torah of Moshe") or do you only want people physically interacting with the scrolls themselves?– RishDec 17, 2015 at 16:15

@sds Why would you think there are so many examples? The scrolls probably sat in the study halls and were used for study. The stories in the Neviim don't talk about people just sitting and studying all that often.– Double AA ♦Dec 18, 2015 at 15:58

In Divrei haYamim II 17:9, King Yehoshafat sends out people to teach Torah in the land of Yehuda and they take physical Torah scrolls with them.
