About the CODICUM project

CODUCUM is a collaborative project on Nordic medieval intellectual and book history based on the c. 50.000 medieval Latin manuscript fragments kept in the major archives and libraries in the Nordic countries. The project is financed by an ERC synergy grant (2025-31) and is led by four PIs at the Universities of Bergen, Helsinki, Copenhagen and SDU in Odense. The ambition of the project is rewriting medieval Nordic book history with traditional humanities approaches combined with a substantial science element in terms of spectrometric parchment analysis of proteins and DNA.
