    		The Codex Gigas or the Devil’s Bible at the National Library in Stockholm is famous for two features. First, it is reputed to be the biggest surviving European manuscript. (Codex Gigas means ‘giant book’.) Secondly, it contains a large, full page portrait of the Devil.

    This site contains a digitised version of every page of the manuscript as well as commentaries on its history, texts, script, initials and decoration.
