A single book. A monumental mystery. A masterpiece of Scripture, science, and secret knowledge.
The Codex Gigas — known globally as the Devil’s Bible — remains the largest handwritten manuscript in the history of the world. For centuries it has provoked legend, fear, and speculation. Now, for the first time, its creation, purpose, contents, missing history, and hidden meaning are revealed in one authoritative volume.
Codex Gigas: Devil’s Bible Revelation and the Secrets It Has Guarded for Centuries
by Marcus V. Rothwell
This is not sensationalism. This is evidence.
Drawing on archival research at the National Library of Sweden, Bohemian monastic records, paleographic analysis, binding forensics, and historical eyewitness accounts, this book peels away centuries of legend to expose the truth behind the most mysterious manuscript ever created.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
• How a single monk sustained decades of relentless writing and craftsmanship.
• Why the Codex includes the entire Latin Vulgate alongside medicine, exorcisms, penance tables, and royal chronicles.
• Why the full-page portrait of the Devil faces the Heavenly City — and what that placement truly means.
• How the manuscript became a war seizure during the Thirty Years War and disappeared into Swedish royal custody.
• How modern science — UV imaging, DNA and parchment analysis, pigment forensics — finally reveals what really happened.
Every chapter is enriched with visuals: manuscript facsimiles, binding diagrams, historical illustrations, layout architecture, and page analysis that place you beside the scribe who created the Codex.
The Codex Gigas is not an object of dark worship. It is a monument of discipline, faith, and intellectual power — a cathedral made of parchment. You will never look at medieval knowledge the same way again.
BOOK FEATURES
• Research-driven chapters using verifiable academic sources
• Visuals in every chapter to enhance reader experience and comprehension
• No filler or vague speculation — only history, theology, codicology, and scientific evidence
• A flexible reading structure — follow the book linearly or explore section by section

If you are fascinated by medieval manuscripts, hidden knowledge, forbidden books, religious history, paleography, or ancient mysteries...
Then this is not just another book to read.
It is the book you have been waiting for.
Turn the first page and meet the giant.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone.
