		Codicology is the study of books as physical objects, especially manuscripts written on parchment in codex form.
		It is often referred to as 'the archaeology of the book', concerning itself with the materials (parchment, sometimes referred to as membrane or vellum, paper, pigments, inks and so on), and techniques used to make books, including their binding.
		There are no clear-cut definitions: some codicologists say that their field it encompasses palaeography, the study of handwriting, while some palaeographers say that their field encompasses codicology.

	Evolution of the Medieval Book
		The study of the manuscript book as a physical object is known as codicology – from codex, a Latin word for "book," especially one whose pages can be turned, as distinguished from a scroll.
		Codicology is concerned with writing surfaces (parchment and paper) as well as the covers, stitching, etc. that make up a binding.
		Since bindings bore the brunt of wear and tear, the leaves that they protected have tended to outlast them; it is not uncommon for manuscripts to have been rebound several times.

	H-France Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Codicology, the technical study of the book as physical object, examines bindings, the material of the pages, their ruling, their pricking, the stitch marks at their edges.
		Codicology has also attempted to recapture a unity of material criticism and literary interpretation that obtained “before the fall” which separated philology and criticism even before WW II.
		Codicology, as the study of the codex, is not of a nature to examine what is on the other side of the great cultural divide between cultures of orality and cultures of writing.

	Codicology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Codicology concerns itself chiefly with the book as a physical object, and has therefore been referred to as 'the archaeology of the book'.

	The Codex
		If you are browsing through the paleography or book production section of your library and start looking at the detailed descriptions of medieval manuscript books, you may fine a section entitiled codicology, followed by a most esoteric series of code and jargon.
		Codicology is the study of the structure of books; not their content, handwriting or decorative style, but simply the way they have been put together.
		The code of codicology is based on the way in which books were made and assembled.

		Mallon rejects the division between epigraphy, papyrology, palaeography and codicology, and calls for unifying all the studies of written records within one discipline.

		In addition to 130 undated manuscripts (until 1540) which employ this combined technique, 26 further manuscripts, all of them produced in Italy, are found to be entirely ruled in ink, while in six others, vertical lines are drawn by hard point.

		Interpreting codicology: re-visions of the Divine Comedy in the Codex Altona.
		Codicology is the study of the physical structure of books.

	Manuscript Studies: History of the Codex
		Topics in the History of the Codex (Introduction to Codicology)
		Codicology is the study of the "codex" and, in particular, the physical makeup and modes of production of a given volume.
		Among the considerations in the study of codicology are the following (listed here in note form):

	The Codex
		There are two pages with nothing written on them, but they are still given their folio numbers.
		The point of the codicology is that it provides a highly summarised story of how the book was made, and can give some indication of its later history.
		The codicology can help unravel how the original thought patterns were laid out in the book.

	H-Net Review: Steven Bowman on Hebrew Manuscripts of the Middle Ages (Site not responding. Last check: )
		To paraphrase an ancient cynic, "Of the making of books about books there is no end." European scholars have excelled in the dating of paper manuscripts by watermarks, palaeography, quire study, literary styles and textual analysis, analysis of ink and skins, and a host of scientific investigations including carbon 14 dating.
		The latest discipline is codicology, an art that encompasses all previous skills and so has revolutionized the practical and conceptual study of Hebrew manuscripts.
		Codicology allows for a systematic examination of all facets of a text, from the writing itself to the nature of the material upon which it is written, in order to determine the circumstances of its production.

	Guest Speakers
		Paleography and codicology are often considered the poor cousins to academic research on the Middle Ages—“auxiliary disciplines” which must be mastered (chiefly by graduate students) to access the “real” data, be that literary, historical, or artistic.
		The discipline placed center stage, codicology or the study of the physical makeup of the medieval manuscript, is frequently labeled as a “hard topic” – an observation that is confirmed by the fact that it is featured at the current conference.
		Moreover, while in Europe codicology is frequently housed in its own department, here in North America it is usually “outsourced” to History or English, which increases the risk that it is perceived as an eccentric auxiliary discipline, homeless in the Arts Faculty.
