sixpenceee:The Codex GigasCodex Gigas, otherwise known as the Devil’s Bible is the largest and probably one of the strangest manuscripts in the world. It is so large that it is said to have taken more than 160 animal skins to make it and takes at least two people to lift it. According to legend, the medieval manuscript was made out of a pact with the devil, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Devil’s Bible. It was written in Latin during the 13th century AD, and although the origin of the manuscript is unknown, a note in the manuscript states that it was pawned in the monastery at Sedlec in 1295. Stories and legends say that the Codex Gigas brought disaster or illness on whoever possessed it during its history. (More Information) -- source link
