Codices is a category for books that center the manuscript tradition and the book-as-artifact, spanning both historical and imaginative works. It includes facsimiles and translations of ancient and medieval manuscripts—European, Mesoamerican, and beyond—alongside studies of paleography, illumination, and bookbinding. It also embraces contemporary narratives and artist’s books that adopt the codex’s visual and structural cues: found documents layered with marginalia and glosses, palimpsests, archival puzzles, and pseudo-scholarly apparatus where layout and imagery carry meaning. The unifying feature is a tactile, investigative reading experience focused on how knowledge is recorded, transmitted, and transformed. Expect themes of secrecy and revelation, sacred or esoteric texts, scholarly pursuit, and the afterlives of pages.
