Devil's Bible

The Devil's Bible, also known as the Codex Gigas, is a massive medieval manuscript from the 13th century, renowned for its impressive size and detailed illustrations. It contains religious texts, including the Bible, alongside historical writings and magical incantations. Its nickname arises from a large, devil-like illustration featured within its pages. The codex is notable not only for its content but also for its extraordinary scale—measuring about 36 inches tall—and the mystery surrounding its creation, which some legends suggest involved a pact with the devil. Today, it is housed in the National Library of Sweden and is considered a remarkable example of medieval craftsmanship.
