Before the codex the records and writings where written on papyrus. Papyrus was not as durable and sturdy as the codex so it did not last as long. Also, the codex had a hard cover to protect the writings inside of it. The codex made for a longer lasting and safer way to keep teachings and records of the Middle Ages on a written source.
The Codex was more convenient to use. The Codex could hold multiple writings inside of it. The people living at this time could just look inside the codex instead of having to fin al the different scrolls. The codex followed a pattern as well it was not all over the place. The codex was orderly.
Before the codex everything was written on papyrus. In the 4th century the first codex came out. By the 6th century everything was written in a codex. This shows how the culture of writing and language arts was changed. The codex itself was revolutionary to the language arts and art of writing things down.
The codex made a lot of things easier. It was easier to write down information and records and it was easier to find information and records. Without the invention of the codex everything would still be written on one page papyrus. The thousands of pages text books we use would be thousands of papyrus scrolls. It would be much harder to keep from getting lost and a lot harder to use. It is important to learn about events and inventions of the Middle Ages so we can better understand the Middle Ages culture.
