Athos Codices

The Athos Codices are a collection of ancient handwritten manuscripts, primarily from Eastern Orthodox monastic libraries on Mount Athos, Greece. These manuscripts include religious texts, theological writings, and historical documents dating back centuries. Preserved with great care, they offer valuable insights into Byzantine history, religious practices, and early Christian thought. Scholars study these codices to understand foundational religious doctrines and the development of Byzantine culture, making them important for both religious heritage and historical research.
