Digital Turcology and Cultural Heritage Codex is an editorial series that produces and publishes TEI-based digital editions for manuscripts and historical texts. The series brings together philological evidence, source information, editorial decisions and digital research outputs within a transparent workflow. It aims to provide a reliable foundation for scholarly reading, citation, comparison and analysis.
Within the Codex series, each work is treated as a research object whose sources, variants, preferred readings, uncertainties in reading and interpretation, and production processes are documented.
The Codex series is structured around four main strands: the Codex of Ottoman Scientific Manuscripts, the Codex of Texts from the Western Turkic Sphere, the Codex of Texts from the Eastern Turkic Sphere, and the Codex of Nevâî's Ghazals. These strands develop gradually through initial collections and expand, as the work progresses, with new records, editions, datasets, publications and tools.

Publication Note
As Codex editions mature, they will be published incrementally via the Digital Turcology Data Lab (DTDL), conceived as the publication environment for TEI-based digital editions. The DTDL publication pipeline is currently under development.
