The Codex Gigas ("Giant Book"; Czech: Obří kniha) also known as the Devil's Bible, due to its highly unusual full-page portrait of Satan, and the legend surrounding its creation.
The manuscript was created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, now a region in the modern-day Czech Republic. The manuscript contains the complete Vulgate Bible, as well as other popular works, all written in Latin. Between the Old and New Testaments are a selection of other popular medieval reference works: Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews and De bello iudaico, Isidore of Seville's encyclopedia Etymologiae, the chronicle of Cosmas of Prague (Chronica Boemorum), and medical works: an early version of the Ars medicinae compilation of treatises, and two books by Constantine the African.
The manuscript is now preserved at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, where it is on display for the general public.
