"Devils Bible:Ang Misteryosong Manuskripto
Tila isang palaisipan parin ang pagkawala ng mga pahina ng tinatawag nilang "The Devil's Bible".Ito ay isang librong galing pa sa 12th century na pinatunayang ginawa ng iisang tao lang sa loob ng halos 30 taon.
Svetoslav Stoyanov, isang monk na taga Benedictine Monastery sa Podlazice ng Bohemia (kasalukuyang Czech Republic)ang nagsulat ng Codex Gigas. Ang "handwriting" sa bawat pahina ay iisa lang kung kaya't talagang lubhang napakagaling ng nagsulat nito.Ang libro ay pinalilibutan ng mga disenyong "demonyo" at gawa sa insekto ang mga tinta nito.
Ang laman ng libro ay nakasulat sa wikang "Latin" na isinalin at napagalamang laman nito ang bibliya, kasama rito ang "Jewish Archaeology" ni Josephus,"The Czech Chronicle of Prague Cosmas, "Calendar Chronicles of Monastery Podlazice", at "Exorcist Spells".etc. Noong 1477-1593,ang Devils Bible ay itinago sa silid-aklatan ng Monasteryo ng Broumov.Makalipas ang isang taon, iyo ay dinala na sa Prague bilang isa sa mga koleksyon ni "King Roudolf II".
Ang Libro ay kakikitaan ng mga ilustrasyon, kabilang ang isang malaking demonstrasyon ng demonyo sa ika-290 nitong pahina.
Noong matapos ang "Thirty Years War (1648), ang mga koleksyon ni King Roudolf II ay ninakaw at dinala sa Sweden bilang isang "war booty".Makalipas ang isang taon, ang manuskrito ay dinala na sa Royal Library sa Stockholm kung saan ito nakabinbin hanggang ngayong
codex gigas o mas kilala sa tawag na devil's bible ang pinaka harap o cover ng librong ito ay yari sa balat ng hayop at metal may laki itong 96 cm,may lapad na 50 cm,kapal na 22 cm at may timbang na 74.8 kilogram Napag alaman na itoy mayroong 320 na pahina ngunit ang ilan sa mga itoy tinangal sa di malamang dahilan pero ayon sa mga nakatuklas ng librong ito maaring dito nakatala ang mga batas sa mga tagasunod ng librong ito ang mga nawawalang pahina ng libro ay pinaghahanap pa ng mga nakatuklas nito.Sa ngayon mayroon na lamang itong 310 na pahina na yari sa balat ng batang baka ito na ang pinakamalaking librong naitala sa panahon ng medieval period(5th to 15 century)
Ano nga ba ang Codex Gigas?
Noong mga gitnang panahon o medieval period 5th to 15th century ang codex gigas ay laganap. Ang librong ito ay naglalaman ng mga witchcraft o sumpa, excorcist spell, orasyon o devils prayer at iba pang mga dasal na pang ritwal. Ginagamit nila ang mga witchcraft para sa paghihihganti. Ayon na rin sa mha alamat noong medieval period na si Lucifer daw mismo ang naghanadog ng nasabing aklat sa isang bisyonaryo na naniniwala at sumasamba sa kanya. Pinananiniwalaang noong 10th century laganap sa buong Europa na ang sakit kung tawagin ay BLACK DEATH. Marami ang naniniwala na ginamit ng isang kilalang mangkukulam ang isang sumpa upang ipalaganap ang matinding sakit. Sa loob ng halos 3 siglong sumpa halos kalahati ng populasyon ng Europa ay nangamatay. Dahil sa pangyayaring ito umabot sa pandinig ng Santo Papa Benedict the 14th at naglabas ng malawakang pagbabawal na sinumang makitaan ng ganitong uri ng libro ay ititiwalag ng simbahang katolika. At ang katapat na parusa pagsusunog sa tulos ng buhay kasama ng Codex Gigas.
At dahil din diyan tinawag ng Santo Papa na mga anak ng diyablo ang sinomang nag mamay ari ng ganoong uri ng libro. Dahil sa pangyayaring ito nakilala ang aklat bilang Bibliya ng Demonyo dahil sa mga epektibong sumpa nito. Ayon na rin sa iba pang mga alamat ang aklat ay naglalaman rin ng mga batas ngunit sa pagdaan ng ilang mga siglo bigla nalamang itong nawala at pinaniniwalaang tinanggal mismo. Hanggang ngayon ay walang makapagsabi kung nasaan na naroon ang mga pahina. At sa kasalukuyang panahon mananatili iyong isang misteryo.~~~
Codex Gigas (the Devil’s Bible) - the largest manuscript in the world
Codex Gigas, otherwise known as ‘the Devil’s Bible’ is the largest and probably one of the strangest manuscripts in the world. It is so large that it is said to have taken more than 160 animal skins to make it and takes at least two people to lift it. It measures approximately 1 metre in length.
According to legend, the medieval manuscript was made out of a pact with the ‘devil’, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Devil’s Bible. It was written in Latin during the 13 th century AD, and although the origin of the manuscript is unknown, a note in the manuscript states that it was pawned in the monastery at Sedlec in 1295.The story behind the making of Codex Gigas (“the giant codex”) is that it was the work of one monk who was sentenced to death by being walled up alive. Indeed, an analysis on the text does suggest that it was written by just one scribe due to the level of uniformity throughout. The legend says that the monk produced the manuscript in just one night… with the devil’s help. However, it is not known where this legend started and it is suspected that it was religiously propagated.
Stories and legends say that the Codex Gigas brought disaster or illness on whoever possessed it during its history. Fortunately, the National Library in Stockholm, where it is currently housed, appears immune to the curse of the codex!
Codex Gigas contains a complete vulgate Latin translation of the Bible as well as five other major texts. It begins with the Old Testament and continues with ‘Antiquities of the Jews’ by Flavius Josephus (1 st century AD; ‘ Encyclopedia Etymologiae ’ by Isidore of Seville (6 th century AD); a collection of medical works of Hippocrates, Theophilus and others; the New Testament; and ‘The Chronicle of Bohemia’ by Cosmas of Prague (1050 AD).
Smaller texts are also included in the manuscript with the most famous ones including: text on exorcism, magic formulas, a picture of the Heavenly City, and a full page illustration of the Devil. The illustration is the reason why legend says the codex was written with the devil’s help.
According to the National Geographic , it would take one person working continuously, day and night, for five years to recreate the contents of Codex Gigas by hand (excluding the illustrations). Therefore, realistically it would have taken at least 25 years for the scribe to create the codex from scratch. Yet, all this time, the writing retained an incredible uniformity from start to finish. This may be the source of the legend which says that the monk wrote it in just one day.
The manuscript is currently displayed at the National Library in Stockholm where you can also view the digital pages of the Codex. Anyone in Sweden should pay a visit to the see Codex Gigas – and do not be afraid, it is quite safe to read the so-called Devil’s Bible!
