Music: “Grave Encounters” – Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

The Devil’s Bible, also known as the Codex Gigas, was created in the 13th century. It’s 3 feet tall and weighs 165 lbs. It’s written in Latin and contains painstaking calligraphy and elaborate art. Most famously, a full page dedicated to an illustration of the Devil.

Experts believe it was created by just one scribe and it may have taken 20 years of non-stop work to complete. However, the legend of the Devil’s Bible says it took just one night.

According to the legend, a monk broke his sacred vows and was sentenced to death. He was to be walled up alive in the monastery. The thought of slowly dying alone in darkness was terrifying , so the monk pleaded for a chance to save himself. He made an interesting offer. In exchange for his life, he said he would create a biblical work so immaculate that God, Himself, would look favorably on the monastery. He was given just one night.

He worked feverishly all day and all night. As the hours went on, he realized he was doomed. So he prayed. Not to God, but to Satan, for help. Satan was happy to oblige. He took the monk’s soul in exchange for finishing the book. A literal deal with the devil.

The Devil’s Bible has changed hands many times over the centuries, but now you can see it for yourself at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm.

Was this the work of an artistic genius? Or something darker?

What do you think?

That book is located in a locked vault in the Vatican and that tells ME that it’s the real deal. I would like to know however if anyone has translated it and what it says. 🤔🤫

[OMEGA_SB]

I never understood the premise of that deal… like what is actually worth eternity in a hell? And who would be dumb enough to make deal 😂

Glad I found this channel I came here from a joe rogan podcast about Tunguska event

Wait?! In exchange for your soul you write the book for the devil but you still die? What am I missing?

For GOD so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son that whoever belives in him shall Not perish but have everlasting life Amen and CHRIST is GOD ☦️

The clip of someone using prayer beads is a Hindu Mala not Rosary beads but otherwise good work

[jerrypickles-qryv]

I've been searching for a copy of it. It hasn't been translated supposivly.

[DONPURIN]

The devil dictated it but who was it that actually made the book itself?

[erasmoganceres]

If it's the "Devils Bible, " why did he pray to Satan? Those are 2 different entities.

That's where fiction was discovered 😂
