and mystery have surrounded this medieval manuscript for
centuries. Legend has it that a doomed monk made a pact with the
Devil to write the massive book in one night and called it Codex
Gigas or the Devil’s Bible. A team of scholars and
scientists embark on a quest to unravel the secrets of the Codex
Gigas in Easter Special: Devil’s Bible on the National
Geographic Channel on Sunday at 8 p.m. The tome’s full-page
portrait of Satan has inspired fear and fascination for centuries.
Now some of the world’s foremost textual experts team up to
investigate the ancient Codex, safely locked away in Sweden’s
National Library. Experts armed with ultra-violet fluorescence
imaging, hand writing analysis and a re-creation of the text
itself, attempt to uncover the truth of the Devil’s Bible in
this program. — NF |
