    All 629 pages of the Codex Gigas can be viewed from the World Digital Library website. The YouTube video here (from another source) tells the fascinating story of the Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil's Bible. It's also worth reading the Codex Gigas article from Open Culture and viewing the images, which give the viewer an idea of the impressive size of the work. Students will enjoy the mystery - or multiple mysteries - surrounding the codex. In addition, teachers will enjoy having such an accessible primary source to teach this period of history.
