Codex is a latin-derived term usually applied to a Legal Code or consolidated body of Laws, there is a complex editing process, as time passes, some famous Codices were the Code of Hammurabi and the Code of Justinian, the Justinian code was divided into several parts, the Codex proper, the Pandex or all-subject index (sometimes misleadingly called the Digest, The Institutes- essentially a training or technical manual for law students ( and by extension Cops) and the supplement or Novellae which ;literally translates as (News) not Novels- no fiction here. the Corpus Juris Civilis, Body of Civil Law was thus divided into several sections, as described above.Codex in this context does not usually refer to cryptography or secret message sending- e.g. Morse Code, ciphers, secret writing but can be stretched to apply at least a standardized Code for communications. (Telephone Numbers, Dewey Decimal classifications, and various service codes ( such as B-29 Bomber, type 29) fit into this usage of Codex as they are standardized uses. Normally Codex does not apply to Cryptography or Cryptological studies- but given popular usage, may.
