codicology
Codicology focuses on the physical archaeology of the book. It differs from paleography, which examines the handwriting and scripts, by prioritizing the material evidence such as the quality of the vellum, the binding techniques, and the chemical composition of the ink. It is a highly specialized academic term used primarily in archival science and historical research.
As a field of study ending in the suffix -logy, this term is an uncountable noun. It refers to the abstract body of knowledge or the practice of the science itself and does not have a plural form in standard academic usage.
