Codex Gigas
The ''Codex Gigas'' ((英語:Giant Book)) is 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 12th 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 It contains the Vulgate Bible as well as many historical documents all written in Latin.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 as war booty by the Swedish, and now it is preserved at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, on display for the general public.〔
==Description==
The codex is bound in a wooden folder covered with leather and ornate metal. At tall, wide and thick, it is the largest known medieval manuscript. Weighing , ''Codex Gigas'' is composed of 310 leaves of vellum allegedly made from the skins of 160 donkeys or perhaps calfskin. It initially contained 320 sheets, though some of these were subsequently removed. It is unknown who removed the pages or for what purpose but it seems likely that they contained the monastic rules of the Benedictines.
Legend has it, that it was written by one scribe.〔M. Gullick, ''The Codex Gigas.
