He said if they let him live, he’d create a book that held all human knowledge. Bible, history, medicine, everything. One book. One night.When he realized he couldn’t finish it in time, he prayed. Not to God. To the Devil.The book was finished by morning.This episode is about the Codex Gigas. The Devil’s Bible. A massive, real-life manuscript that includes scripture, spells, rituals, and a full-page portrait of Satan. For centuries, it’s been passed around, looted, hidden, and blamed for more than a few unexplained events. Ten pages were cut out. No one knows what they said.The book still exists.
