The Codex Gigas ("The Devil's Bible")


The opening segment of a National Geographic program. I'm a little disappointed that they feel a need to overhype the presentation a bit to lure the general public, because the subject matter is sufficiently fascinating to stand on its own.  Those who would like to view parts 2,3, and 4 can find them at YouTube.

  2. Excellent morning coffee company. Thanks for the post. Thank goodness for YouTube.

    Too bad they talked about nothing for the most of the show instead of providing more information on how it was analyzed etc...
