Ye olde Codex Gigas, also known as “Djävulsbibeln“ (The Devil’s Bible) was a spoils of war of Sweden from Czech Republic during the Thirty Years’ War. It is the largest medieval manuscript and is called the Devil’s Bible due to the image of a devil inside of it as well as the legend that surrounds it. The legend tells the tale of a doomed monk that promised as penitence for breaking his vows to write in one night a manuscript that would encompass all world’s knowledge. At midnight he pretty much figured that he was fucked right up the ass so he made a pact with the Devil to finish the book in exchange for his soul. Also the Devil obviously wanted his picture in the work as well. Technically the book contains the Latin Vulgate and other historical documents.
