You can browse the Codex here: http://www.kb.se/codex-gigas/eng/Browse-the-Manuscript/

The whole thing? Wow.

It's a shame I can't read Latin. :p That would be an interesting read.

Some of the imagery is a bit fuzzy too, but yeah, ditto.

Any idea which page the Devil is on? We've got the chance to, so why not go to it?

It should have a few choices for which pages you want to view. There was a file called "The Devil" when I opened up the link.

Edit: Nvm. Click on Alphabet and The Devil should pop up.

Not in Alphabets, but in a helpfully named folder - "The Devil". :p

Not the most artistic drawing, you have to admit, but it's still impressive. There's some very good colouring there. And the body has been drawn well.

It wouldn't show up for me unless I clicked on Alphabets.

I was never told of the Codex Gigas.

I would blame the education system in America, however I realize it's my own fault.

-----------------------------------

Interesting, I can sort of read it. Unfortunately I don't know a lot of latin, I'm only in my second year of it.

I just found the text itself hardly to be legible.

Zoom is a wondrous feature.

You're right, it's quite faded. The old English lettering doesn't make it any easier to translate.
