Return of the 'Devil's Bible' to Prague Draws Crowds of Curious Czechs

http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/9/9/28/f_devilbiblem_c7612ad.jpg

Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil's Bible - a medieval manuscript said to have been written 800 years ago with the devil's help - has returned to Prague after an absence of 359 years. And Czechs were eager to see it, officials said. The priceless piece, considered the biggest medieval book, was taken from the Prague Castle by Swedish troops at the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648. It is in Prague on loan from Sweden's Royal Library in Stockholm. It was put on display last week under high security at the Czech National Library.

This has no significance unless you like the nifty drawing of the devil the monk added for his inspiration to produce such a work for god.

Hi Chattanova ,
Thier is an old lore that the "Devil" had a book he carried with him of which was stolen from him . It was called The red book of appin . Till today thier has been many who have been said to possess the book but none have made any coppies nor published it nor have any ever produced the book to be seen by any one . Thus if the book existed it is hidden and probably dust by now or it was a hoax by some poor peasant trying to act tough by saying he took the devils book hahahahaha . as if .........One would think why would a being that is not in this dimention need a book for anyway when clearly something that powerful wouldnt have a book for the purpose of protection of what was in it . seems to me the info would be in its mind not on pages .
