The manuscript book is a unique and complex object, which has two fundamental aspects:
The first aspect involves various disciplines, such as philology and textual tradition; the second aspect involves codicology, which some also define as “book archeology.”
The manuscript is the main object of paleography, a discipline that examines every aspect, both those concerning the text and those related to the execution of the writing of that text from a material perspective. For this reason it is important to provide some information of the codicological type.
