The Codex and Crafts in Late Antiquity

Georgios Boudalis

4.9/5 (26767 ratings)

Description:The transition from roll to codex as the standard format of the book is one of the most culturally significant innovations of Late Antiquity. The Codex in Context examines surviving evidence in order to better understand how this transition took place. Placing the codex into the general cultural, religious, and technological context of Late Antiquity, the book examines the major types of codices—the wooden tablet codex, the single-quire codex and the multi-quire codex—in all their structural, technical, and decorative features. Georgios Boudalis argues that the codex was not an ingenious invention but rather an innovation that evolved using techniques already widely employed by artisans and craftspeople in the creation of everyday items such as socks, shoes, and baskets, revealing that the codex was a fascinating, yet practical, development.
