Codex Gigas
What do you think about the "Codex Gigas", a supposed tome written by a monk (black robed) with help from the underworld? It is known also as the "Devil's Bible". Is the story true?
QUOTE (Wikipedia) |
The Codex Gigas (English: Giant Book) is the largest extant medieval manuscript in the world[1]. It was created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, and is now preserved at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm[1], where two librarians are needed to lift it. It is also known as the Devil's Bible due to a large illustration of the devil on the inside and the legend surrounding its creation. |

I would not be shocked if it was wrote with the help of the dark side. I think to make a better judgment one would have to read its content and compare that to what we believe to be true. If dark farces were involved in its creation then to use the knowledge contained in it would likely have a consequence.
The book is said to contain two things:
1. The Bible
2. All things about life
By the end of the documentary there are some observations made:
1. The page that is most visited is the page with Satan
2. Opposite the page of Satan is the Kingdom of Heaven
3. It may be that the author was trying to show both the good and the evil
4. Many also wondered why the page that Satan was on is so dark, the reason is because it is the most viewed, thus showing what people are most interested in seeing over the centuries
5. Only ONE person wrote this over perhaps the period of thirty years and he was likely a Monk in recluse (alone)
The idea that there was evil involved came from the fact that the ark robbed monks gave it to the white robbed sect with a rumor.
I am hoping to take some time and read up on this more. The part about all things about life is intriguing to me and would be the section that might shed more light on the true purpose of the author in writing this.
I am wiling to bet many truths lie in the book my thought is how have the truths been put to use.

That would be an awesome to look through. Is there a version of the codex in english online?
I saw this on tv! Its just one huge hand written Bible with some personal thoughts from the writer. It will be nice to look at it and read. Wow I don't think I could have the patience to write something like that.
