The devil's bible, also called Codex Gigas (Giant Book), is located at the National Library in Stockholm and is famous for being the biggest surviving European manuscript.
It is a book said to be written 'supernaturally' according to legend by a monk from the Middle Ages (early 13th century) who was sentenced to being walled up alive for breaking his monastic vows.
It is thought to have been created in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, which today is the Czech Republic.
