Stuck on one clue.

Established principles without manuscript volume (5)

We have CODE?

Codes = established principles

Codex = manuscript volume

I think the correct answer is Codex but can’t see how the clue works.

You have it, but I think the established principles are just CODE, and X is short for X, without, as in XD, ex dividend

I meant X is short for ex, of course
