The secret book of Satan

In 2007 returned the national library in Sweden is very big book houses a collection of historical manuscripts to its original position in the National Library of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, where he was there. This is known as the Book of Satan book Devil's Bible because it contains depictions of the devil inside and the legend surrounding the type,

  Returned that book to its original location after 359 years and after years of negotiations between diplomats from both countries, I wrote those manuscripts in the early thirteenth century that is, in the era of the Middle Ages and in the monastery Penidictan in Boodlazis in the province of Bohemia, is still considered those manuscripts wonder of the world and the largest work of its kind in the Middle Ages had taken him by Swedish troops from Prague Castle in 1648.

Legend has it that the manuscript is written with the assistance of Satan and the known manuscripts Jegas Codex Gigas (means in English Giant Book or book huge). According to legend, the which its line is the monk aside under the monastery he was tried and ruled the sentence to hang his body on the wall, a district, asked a petition to that do not fall upon those cruel that the promise of writing a book in one night only to glorify the monastery forever include all human knowledge

  And when he approached the middle of the night is sure it will not be able to complete this enormous task alone has led special prayers were not directed to God but the devil (which is also known as angel falling from heaven in the Christian belief) in order to help him finish the book in exchange for selling himself to the devil and the finished book he added that the monk Page Kaarfan imagine the devil than to Jamil, who rendered to him.

So now I do not know the origin of that myth, but who watches the size of the manuscript amazing size has been thought to be the work of the supernatural, strange that, despite the spread of that myth but the church at that time did not prohibit the handling of such manuscripts among the students, then the church controlled things in Europe and the succession lahd of engaging in witchcraft, or burned to sticks or torture to death by the Inquisition.

Consist of the manuscript of the five sections long text, including the Bible Bible both the Old and New, start manuscripts Old Testament, followed by two works historic for Flavius ​​Josephus, who lived in the first century AD speak for Jewish war, and some old stories, followed by the encyclopedia's most popular in the Middle Ages, one of the the work of Isidore, who lived in the sixth century in Spain

 This is followed by a group of medical and business after the New Testament of the Bible, and the last work includes a historical account of the province of Bohemia, written by Cosmas of Prague (of 1045 until 1125 AD), the first history of Bohemia. There are also short texts in the manuscript of the work for forgiveness and is located before the page depicting the city of heaven Heavenly City, and other work is located after page depicting the devil and talked about the methods of anti-Satanic Possession or expulsion of evil spirits, and the last short work is a list of saints and the dates of celebration of their memory by the local population in Bohemia (now Czech Republic).

There is also a work of the missing were deducted from the huge book deals with the role and work of St. Benedict, which is a guidebook for life in the monastery wrote in the sixth century. The Bible both the Old and New in this manuscript is the most important part for the Christian faith while other texts ins have been chosen carefully, because it includes information on Jewish history (the work of Josephus), and comprehensive knowledge of (the work of Isidore), medicine and local history (Acts Kosmas). The manuscript consists of 310 paper of the kind luxury, was probably made ​​of calfskin, width of leaves 49 cm and a length of 89 cm.

 Yet does not know the origin of the manuscript, but noticeable written show it developed from monks Boodlazis They are the owners of a monastery in the town of Sedlak in in 1295 and then transferred to the monastery of Brevnov near Mdenhh Prague. All of these monasteries were located in Bohemia. But it is certain that the manuscript appeared somewhere in Bohemia, and perhaps in a small monastery and is important.

On page 289 of the manuscript see the picture that represents the city in the heavens and is represented by layers and every layer in which many of the buildings and towers (like church towers) and behind the walls red also shows more of the towers. And free people of this city and a symbol of hope and salvation in contrast imaging of the devil. Is the image of Satan's most famous manuscript is located on page 290 and extends to the entirety, a reason to call the book the Book of Satan Devil's Bible, Satan appears in that page is surrounded by two towers are long on style image of a city Asamawant but with empty background

And show the devil claws in his hands and feet and four toes on each hand and all the feet. And fled wearing covers the bottom of his body, and fur is usually related to Kingly appearance and this is an affirmation of the role of Satan prince of darkness. The very portrait to remind the viewer of sin and evil as two photos placed on the same sheet, but in two opposite sides deliberately in order to show the vast contrast between the benefits of life, good and evil cons of life.
