法典, 古代手抄本
an ancient book, written by hand, especially of scriptures, classics, etc.
A codex is an ancient book or manuscript made from bound pages, often handwritten. Unlike scrolls, which are rolled up, a codex consists of pages stacked and held together along one side, similar to modern books. Codices were used in various cultures, including the Romans and early Christians, for recording texts, documents, and religious writings. They are valuable for historical and scholarly research due to their role in the development of written communication.
