This ancient codex is a complex object with a living body, made up of many materials. The codex is an organism that must be protected and that has many “wonderful” features to be explored. In fact, the manuscript is the product of artisanal craftsmanship and artistic skills and it may have undergone censorship, dismemberment, and some forms of concealment. These narratives have been imprinted and sometimes hidden, in its materials, making them a significant part of its value as a testimonial to the history of ideas, culture and society. Because this is an experimental project, we began with a small number of codices that we hope will grow over time.
