Codex Gigas - The Devil's Bible in Karviná
To the neighboring Karviná castle for an exhibition of a copy of the medieval book Codex Gigas.
Original: the largest manuscript book from the beginning of the 13th century, in the 17th century the Swedes took it away as spoils of war. The book also includes Kosm's Chronicle.
Copy: when it was loaned in 2007 at an exhibition in Olomouc, a model of it was taken. Only a third of the book was allowed to be copied, so some pages were left blank. The plates are made of beef…
