Famous for its sheer size as well as its many intricate illustrations, the Devil’s Bible is a 13th-century manuscript from Bohemia in what is now part of the Czech Republic. ’Codex Gigas’ literally means ’giant book,’ and it holds the title of the largest extant medieval illustrated manuscript in existence, measuring 92 centimeters in length and around 22 centimeters in thickness, bound with leather and metal.
