	Codex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although most early codices were made of papyrus, papyrus was fragile and supplies from Egypt, the only place where papyrus grew, became scanty; the more durable parchment and vellum gained favor, despite the cost.
		The codices of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica had the same form as the European codex, but were instead made with long folded strips of either fig bark (amatl) or plant fibers, often with a layer of whitewash applied before writing.
		Codices are usually named for their most famous resting-place, whether a city or a private library.

	Joseph Beuys: Drawings after the Codices Madrid Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
