The Medieval codes project works toward a better understanding of how medieval texts are coded. Many different ways of understanding navigation, language, and intentions are implicit in medieval reading practices, but out knowledge of the processes by which information was encoded, transmitted, and read in the Middle ages will benefit medievalists, aid book historians in understanding manuscript cultures, and inform out post-print world of similar practices in existence before the rise of print culture. The project focuses on English texts, ca. 500 - 1500.
