Omschrijving

The Devil's Bible, or Codex Gigas, is one of history's most mysterious and controversial manuscripts. Its colossal size, mysterious origins, and the legend surrounding its creation have fascinated scholars, historians, and curious minds for centuries. This book aims to explore the many reasons behind the banning and censorship of the Devil's Bible, diving into its historical, religious, and cultural significance.

Throughout time, many books have been banned for various reasons, from their content to the threat they posed to established norms and authorities. The Devil's Bible is no different. Said to be the largest medieval manuscript, it's cloaked in legends. Folklore tells us it was created in a single night by a monk who made a pact with the devil. Its very name sparks fear and curiosity, making it an ideal target for censorship.

In this book, we'll peel back the layers of myth and reality surrounding the Devil's Bible. We'll look into the historical context of its creation, examine its contents, and explore why it was considered dangerous or heretical by different authorities. By understanding the complex mix of power, religion, and superstition, we can uncover why such an extraordinary piece of history was suppressed.
