Codex Gigas

The Codex Gigas is one of the largest manuscripts in the world, said to require two men to lift (hence Gigas, Greek for 'giant'). It includes the entire Latin Bible , Isidore of Seville's Etymologiae, a Latin translation of Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, Cosmas of Prague 's Chronicle of Bohemia, among other works. It resided in Prague until 1648, when the Swedish army took it to Stockholm as plunder.
