Codex Gigas

Are you familiar with the Codex Gigas? It is the world's largest Medieval manuscript. This is one amazing text and an even more unbelievable bind. Not to mention the element of mystery and possible deals with the Devil involved. Curious? Here is a view of the cover.

Looking good so far, am I right? Well it gets better. In this case there is so, so much more to love. 

For one thing, it is insanely gigantic. Remember that this is a Medieval manuscript made by hand. Debatably by a single human being.

Are you salivating for more info? It is actually possible for one person to have created this book? Would you like to watch a sensationalized and slightly trashy documentary on the subject? This is still a very informative and exciting piece of drama-cumentary film.  You are in luck.

Curiouser and curiouser?

HERE IS THE WORLD DIGITAL LIBRARY LINK.

This is where you can browse through the manuscript page by page in exquisitely detailed photographs.
Enjoy!
