    Abstract

    This chapter argues that the study of medieval manuscripts would benefit from the comparative studies of codices written in languages other than Latin and by other cultures in Europe and the Mediterranean. It maintains that comparative codicology demonstrates that medieval codices across cultures share many similarities, and that their study can reveal cross-cultural influences and borrowings, as well as insights into the analysis of various scripts.
