Codex gigas.

Are you in Sweden Katarina?

No. Codex gigas was here. :)

Glad you saw it.. :))

I even wrote an article about it.:)

I have heard about it and seen a few of the images ...only reproductions. It is HUGE... When was this Katarina ? Do you have the Article you wrote :)

Book is very large. It has proportions of a medieval man - height, weight :) It is made from fine leather. Paintings are very nice, with the exception of a "devil".
Yes, I have my article in Word in my files. Unfortunately it is in Slovak language, so useless for you. Are you interested in something special?

General interest Kat... My dull brain can only hold little snippets of information. I do like old books and manuscripts just as beautiful objects.

This is the largest manuscript which survived since medieval times. I think its story is more attractive for people then manuscript itself.:))

Ah..but without the manuscript itself...it's story becomes just legend ? ;)

One of modern legends says that a mystery of Codex gigas inspired Umberto Eco to wrote his The Name of the Rose...
