The Codex Gigas is a medieval manuscript from the early 13th century that is known as the Devil's Bible. It is one of the largest surviving books from the Middle Ages, measuring over 36 inches tall and 20 inches wide, and contains the entire Vulgate Bible, as well as various medical, scientific, and supernatural texts. The book is famous for its depiction of the devil and is said to have been created by a single scribe over a period of 20 years. Legend has it that the monk who created the devil illustration made a deal with the devil himself in exchange for his freedom from prison. The Codex Gigas is now housed in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm and continues to captivate audiences with its rich history, intricate illustrations, and ornate calligraphy. #codexgigas #mysterious #history #medieval #bible #shorts #ancientbooks
