Codicology

Codicology is the study of a codex, an older handwritten book. It is closely related to palaeography, the study of handwriting in older manuscripts, and to philology, the study of language and culture in older texts. All three originated in Classical Latin and Greek studies, but later extended to the Medieval studies, and then to manuscripts and books from other pre-modern cultures and time periods.
