18- The Codex Gigas
Photo credit: www.ancients-bg.com
Housed in the National Library of Sweden is a book that some believe is the work of the devil himself. This giant 13th-century tome, called the Codex Gigas, or the “Devil’s Bible,” is a staggering 9 inches thick and weighs in at 165 pounds. It has rich leather bindings and metallic trim. It’s one page in particular though that stands out. Staring out from one leaf is a color image of the devil. The story goes that the scribe made a pact with the devil in order to complete the work.
Very Interesting!
