The Codex Gigas (or Devil´s Bible) is a large 13th-century manuscript from Bohemia, one of the historical Czech lands. Renowned for its size and its striking full-page rendition of the devil (found on page 577), it contains a number of parts: the Old and New Testaments, two works of Josephus Flavius, Isidore of Seville´s Etymologies, the standard textbook for teaching medicine in the Middle Ages known as Ars medicinae (The art of medicine), the 12th-century Chronica BoĂŤmorum (Chronicle of the Bohemians) of Cosmas of Prague, and a calendar. Of special interest are the sections that testify to the Bohemian origin of the manuscript and its eventful history. At the end of the 16th century, the Codex was incorporated into the collections of Habsburg ruler Rudolph II. During the Swedish siege of Prague at the end of the Thirty Yearsâ War (1648), the manuscript was taken as war booty and transferred to Stockholm.

CODEX GIGAS: Who is the Mysterious Author of âThe Devilâs Bible?â
The Codex Gigas is the largest book still in existence from the Medieval time period. Literally, the largest: 36 inches tall, 20 inches wide, 8.7 inches thick, weighing 165 pounds.
A portion of this book became the Catholic Churchâs official Latin version of the Bible in the 16th century⌠and yet, it is often called The Devilâs Bible â and not just because of the of the grinning demon illustration within.
The legend of The Devilâs Bible dates back to the Middle Ages: a monk broke his vows and was sentenced to be sealed up alive in a wall. The monk, terrified, promised to write a volume glorifying the monastery and containing all of human knowledge â and he promised to write it in one night. The monastic order agreed to the plea bargain, but as Midnight approached, the disgraced monk realized he couldnât do it.
According to legend, the monk prayed to Satan, pledging him his soul in exchange for his help with the book. Satan gladly obliged, and the massive tome was completed.
Some versions of the legend say the monk included the full-page Devil illustration as a thank you to his dark master; others say that the illustration was the signature of the Devil himself.
Itâs a great tale, but one that could be written about pretty much any book⌠except that handwriting experts analyzed the Codex Gigas and decided that it was all written by a single person, uniform across all pages, with no sign of age or a change in the mood of the scribe.
Further tests recreating only the calligraphy â not any of the illustrations or embellishments â show that it would have taken five years of non-stop writing to complete.
