"The Devils Bible...."
The Codex Gigas ("Giant Book"; Czech: Obří kniha) is the largest extant medieval illuminated manuscript in the world, at a length of 92 cm (36 in).[1] Very large illuminated bibles were a typical feature of Romanesque monastic book production,[2] but even within this group, the page-size of the Codex Gigas is noted as exceptional. The manuscript is also known as the Devil's Bible, due to its highly unusual full-page portrait of Satan, and the legend surrounding its creation..
We take a deep dive into this mysterious artifact and share our thoughts and theories... Do you think it was written in one night??
