Does anyone know if it is possible to see the Codex Calixtinus on display somewhere in Santiago? Searching online I can't find anything. Thanks!

I can't answer that, but if you like ancient books, visit the museum at the Basilica de San Isidoro in Léon.

For more info re the relatively recent history of the Codex see

https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/status-of-the-stolen-codex.14129/

I believe that the Codex is now kept within the Cathedral archives

Thanks so much @Kanga! This forum produces such better results than google Based on your response I looked up the Cathedral Museum and found this https://www.spain.info/en_US/que-qu...de_la_catedral_de_santiago_de_compostela.html Hoping that it is in fact on display and not back in the archives.

In Leon at the San Isidro you can see the Chalis, that they say was used at the last supper. The museum there is very interesting.

I just saw from El Camino People on Instagram that the codex will be displayed for a limited time at the cathedral in Santiago this week only. Per the post, the display schedule for the rest of the week is:

Tuesday, 6 June 2023 (18:00)
Wednesday, 7 June 2023 (18:00)
Thursday 8 June 2023 (10:30 and 18:00)
Friday, 9 June 2023 (10:30, 16:30 and 18:00)

I will be in Santiago next week so I will miss it by a few days

They may be very wary of having it stolen again!
