Medieval manuscripts (codices)
Codices, handwritten books from the period before the invention of the printing press, are valuable and rare library materials. The National and University Library of Slovenia stores 122 codices, which were created between the late antiquity and the modern times. The oldest codex is The Moralia and Job by Gregorius Magnus from the first half of the 9th century written in the early Carolingian minuscule script. The Stična Manuscript written around 1428, one of the most important Slovenian medieval texts, has also been digitized.
