What does CODEX mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicaltechnical
An ancient manuscript text bound in book form, or an official listing of standards such as medicines.
A codex is a manuscript made of stacked, bound pages, a format that gradually replaced the rolled scroll in the ancient world. Many surviving codices preserve early copies of classical or religious texts and are prized by historians and scholars. In a different, more modern sense, a codex can also mean an official reference list, such as a pharmaceutical codex of approved drugs. The word keeps this dual life in both historical and technical writing today.
