CODICUM is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary research project that explores the rich world of medieval manuscript fragments in Northern Europe (c. 1000-1500). These often overlooked pieces of parchment offer an unparalleled window into the literary culture, craftsmanship, and interconnected knowledge networks that shaped the region and linked it to the rest of Europe. 

Through a combination of traditional manuscript studies, cutting-edge scientific analysis, and innovative digital techniques, CODICUM aims to reconstruct lost books, chart the flow of ideas, and reveal the hidden histories of this fascinating era.
