Greek Manuscripts, as a book category, encompasses both original handwritten works in the Greek language and modern studies, facsimiles, and editions of those works. It spans from ancient papyrus rolls of the Hellenistic and Roman periods to medieval Byzantine illuminated codices and early modern manuscripts, covering literary, philosophical, scientific, historical, and religious texts (including biblical and liturgical writings). Titles in this category may present high-quality facsimiles, critical editions with translations and commentary, catalogues of collections, and research in paleography and codicology. They often explore scribal practices, script styles (such as uncial and minuscule), illumination and decoration, and the creation, use, and preservation of manuscripts. The category highlights the transmission of classical knowledge, the development of early Christian literature, and the cultural history of the Greek-speaking world.
