So we hope you come along for the journey. The Codex library is only a hint of what lies beyond. But more importantly, a society that seeks the knowledge of those before and desires to make its own contributions worthy.Īnd it all starts with a curated and vibrant library.įurthermore, it’s important to note how Codex began, as it foreshadows our mission to bridge the latest technologies with the classical world. Working with strategists to map what’s next for CodexĬodex was born in Florence, a city that is a testament to the advances and prosperity that a society can make when it recognizes that money can be a tool to enrich culture. We’ve been providing a “ quiet place ” on Twitter We made “ Pictures Drawn in One Stroke ” available to Matchbook collectors We launched Matchbook NFT and raised 53 Ξ (~90k USD ) We have 100+ books that we plan on scanning However, they prove our point for the need of curation.
