 | | From the 4th century, when the codex gained wide acceptance to the Carolingian Revival in the 8th century many works were not converted from scroll to codex and were lost to posterity. |
| | The modern codex book owes a lot to the innovations of Aldus Manutius who introduced the compact format book that could be carried in a saddlebag and italic type as a means of increasing print density. |
| | The codex also made it easier to organize documents in a library because it had a stable spine on which the title of the book could be written, and later read when books were arranged upright on shelves. |
