| For the Medieval Studies M.A. students can take the class on How to Describe a Medieval Manuscript, which gives an introduction to transcription and codicology. |
| Palaeography is the study of historical handwritten scripts, and codicology the related study of other physical aspects of manuscript codexes. |
| Hebrew handwritten books may indeed serve as a useful means for devising a comparative codicology and paleography. |
| A fairly brief introduction provides a basic description of the manuscript, concentrating on its codicology and production. |
