Codex Gigas
The Devil's Bible, the largest surviving medieval manuscript/Literature & Writing
The Codex Gigas (Latin for 'Giant Book') is the largest surviving medieval manuscript in the world, measuring 92 centimeters tall, 50 centimeters wide, and 22 centimeters thick. It weighs about 75 kilograms and requires two people to lift. Created in the early 13th century in Bohemia, it is famous for a large, full-page illustration of the Devil, earning it the nickname 'The Devil's Bible.' Legend says a monk wrote the entire thing in one night with the Devil's help. Paleographic analysis suggests it was actually the work of a single scribe over 20 to 30 years. It is housed in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm.
