The Codex Gigas is the largest surviving medieval manuscript in the world.
At nearly nine inches (22cm) thick and 36 inches (92cm) tall, the book is so large that it is said to have required more than 160 animal skins to complete.
But it's not just its size that has surprised historians. Inside is a menacing full-page colour image of the Devil, leading many to believe the pages themselves are cursed.

It is thought to have been created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, which today is the Czech Republic.

Inside is a menacing full-page colour image of the Devil, leading many to believe the pages themselves are cursed. The book begins with the Old Testament, and it is followed by two works by Flavius Josephus who lived in the first century AD. It ends with the New Testament and the last of the long works is a Chronicle of Bohemia by Cosmas from Prague.

Legend has it that a monk from the Middle Ages was sentenced to being walled up alive for breaking his monastic vows.
To avoid punishment, the monk promised to write, in a single night, a book containing all human knowledge.
As midnight approached, the monk became desperate and turned to Lucifer for help, offering to make a pact to finish the book in exchange for his soul.
Lucifer agreed and signed the work by adding a self-portrait of himself. In the colorful image, he is placed against an empty landscape framed by two large towers.
According to a report by National Geographic several years ago, handwriting analysis by palaeographer Michael Gullick at the National Library of Sweden indicated that one scribe did compose the entire manuscript.

The Quran is probably still more Satanic in spirit...

“Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man’s soul and faith”
Wait, the Koran?
While there is evidence for God in abundance in the universe, there is none whatsoever for the devil outside the mind of man...despite this ridiculous drawing.
“world’s largest manuscript was written by Lucifer”
are you sure it’s not ‘DREAMS OF MY FATHER’ by obama?
A good article from 1999 the Atlantic.
And the abundance of evil that men do, doesn’t convince you that Lucifer is real??
No. The human mind is more than capable of unlimited evil.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
“...there is none whatsoever for the devil outside the mind of man...despite this ridiculous drawing.”
The evidence of Lucifer is the counterfeits to the evidence of God. Israel for instance; why is there so many attempts through history to destroy the Jew?
Why would the devil draw himself repulsive when he wants his way to be delicious? So we can laugh and not believe he exist?
Because he was drawn by a human being.
Silly Jesus... what was he thinking?
Old Testament believer.
Yep, agreed.
Onedoug, check out Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 for mention of Satan.
Isaiah 14 begins with an address to the king of Babylon; Ezekiel 28 to the prince of Tyre. Both, however, go beyond them to the being who stands behind them and influences them.
The references to Satan are clear, describing his fall from heaven, and his titles-—star of the morning and son of the dawn. (Isaiah 14:12).
Ezekiel 28:12-15 references his presence in the garden of Eden, his perfect beauty and wisdom, his “seal of perfection”, and his previous status as God’s anointed cherub.
