Assuming you never solved a codex before;

You need to place them in your inventory first.
When clicking at the Lectern to open it, click at the codexes and you will get an option to apply 3 runes to it.
Since you got the codex, you also have been exploring a ruin, meaning you got some runes to start with.
Click at three different ones and check if the codex at the right part tells you if and how many runes are correct. Use several combinations to apply the runes until it's a full match.

I'm not sure what happens after that, as I've never been able to decode a codex up to now, as I don't have all available runes (yet).

But I assume you need to put it in the Lectern, assign a scolar to the Lectern and wait an "X" number of rests to have the codex translated.

You can immediately 'restore' the codexes by figuring out which 3 runes they use by playing the little matching game - succeeding gives you a free knowledge point. You won't be able to actually read the codex until you discover all 3 of those runes in the crypts throughout the game

But solving the 3 codexes for 3 free knowledge is really great, and a big reason to clear each crypt immediately when you can.
