Codex Gigas

The Codex Gigas, also known as the "Devil's Bible," is a massive medieval manuscript created in the early 13th century. It spans about 36 inches tall and contains over 600 pages of biblical texts, historical writings, and illustrations. Its most famous feature is a large, detailed portrait of the devil. Legend suggests it was written by a monk in a single night, possibly with the help of the devil, but historians believe it was produced over many years by multiple scribes. The Codex Gigas is valued for its size, age, and the wealth of information it preserves from the Middle Ages.
