Codexes

Codexes are ancient manuscripts consisting of pages bound together, much like modern books. They typically contain written texts, illustrations, or both, often on important subjects such as literature, religion, or law. The term "codex" often refers to early forms of books created after scrolls, allowing easier access to information. Famous examples include the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Leicester. Codexes provide valuable insights into historical cultures and knowledge, preserving the ideas and works of the past for future generations.
