Codex
A codex (
Latin for block of wood,
book; plural codices) is a book in the format used for modern books, with separate pages normally bound together and given a cover. It was a Roman invention that replaced the
scroll, which was the first form of book in all
Eurasian cultures.Although technically any modern
paperback is a codex, the term is only used for
manuscript (hand-written) books, produced from
Late Antiquity through the
Middle Ages. The scholarly study of
manuscripts from the point of view of the bookmaking craft is called
codicology. The study of ancient documents in general is called
paleography.
