Summary
[edit]DescriptionCodexGigas 212 Ezra,Nehemiah.jpg | A page containing Nehemiah 11:11-13:31 and the beginning of Tobit in the Codex Gigas (English: Giant Book), the largest extant medieval manuscript in the world. It is also known as the Devil's Bible because of a large illustration of the devil on the inside and the legend surrounding its creation. It is thought to have been created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia (modern Czech Republic). It contains the Vulgate Bible as well as many historical documents all written in Latin. During the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the entire collection was taken by the Swedish army as plunder, and now it is preserved at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, though it is not normally on display. |
