The Codex’s Contents: Attempt at a Codicological Approach

Patrick Andrist and Marilena Maniaci

Abstract

During the preparation of the revised English version of La Syntaxe du codex, the authors highlighted the need to reconsider the current notion of ‘content’ from a codicological point of view, in order to complement the more traditional textual and philological perspectives. This contribution offers a first overview of an ongoing reflection on the identification and delimitation of the various types of contents that can be found in a codex including the notions of BlocConts and UniConts. The analysis of contents raises a number of (partially open) questions concerning their interaction, aimed at a better understanding of the structure of the codex, as well as of its genesis and subsequent transformations.
