The Codex Gigas, often called the "Devil's Bible," is an intriguing medieval manuscript that captivates historians and bibliophiles alike with its sheer size and mysterious origins. Created in the early 13th century in what is now the Czech Republic, this enormous book is renowned for its remarkable dimensions, measuring nearly three feet long and weighing over 160 pounds. Its moniker, "Devil's Bible," stems from an eerie full-page illustration of the Devil himself. It has fueled various legends about its creation, including the tale of a monk who supposedly made a pact with the Devil to complete it overnight. The Codex Gigas is not solely notable for its size and lore; it also contains an extensive compilation of texts, including the Vulgate Bible, medical works, and encyclopedic knowledge of the time. Today, it resides in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, where it continues to intrigue and mystify scholars and visitors with its enigmatic allure and historical significance. #codexgigas #history #myths Please SUBSCRIBE ► Amazon Music: Grab Your Brew Podcast ► Spotify: ‪@GrabYourBrew‬ ► IHeart: Grab Your Brew ► TikTok: @GrabYourBrew ► Instagram: GrabYourBrew ► Facebook: GrabYourBrew ► YouTube: @GrabYourBrew ► Twitter: GrabYourBrews If you’d like to support my channel, here is my PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/@ljonesCD Email: GrabYourBrew@Gmail.com ‪@Spotify‬ ‪@amazonmusic‬
