<p>სტატიის ავტორი: <strong>academic_punk</strong></p>
<p>ფაქტობრივად ყველაზე დიდი ხელნაწერი წიგნი, რომელიც შემორჩა შუა საუკუნეებიდან</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>&#8230; წიგნის ისტორია მართლაც ძალიან საინტერესოა, მას ასევე  მოიხსენიებენ როგორც სატანის ბიბლიას, მაგრამ სინამდვილეში სატანური არაფერი არაა ამ წიგნში იმ მითის გარდა, რომლის მიხედვითაც ეს წიგნი შეიქმნა. მითი მოგვითხრობს რომ მეცამეტე საუკუნის ბენედიქტელმა ბერმა, რომელსაც სიკვდილი ჰქონდა მისჯილი, ეპისკოპოსს სთხოვა ეპატიებინა, სამაგიეროდ კი ის შექმნიდა წიგნს, რომელიც პატივს და დიდებას მოუტანდა მონასტერს. ბერს წინამძღვარმა ერთი ღამე მისცა ამისთვის. ბერმა თავისი სული ეშმაკს მიჰყიდა სხეულის გადარჩენისთვის&#8230; ეშმაკის დახმარებით მან შექმნა Codex Gigas და ეშმაკს სათანადო ადგილი მიუჩინა ამ წიგნში, გამოსახა რა იგი მთელ გვერდზე (ნომრით 290) მთელი თავისი სიდიადით.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1168" title="Devils Bible_.03.JPG" src="http://kate9alukard.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/3619_devils-bible-2_12801024.jpg" alt="Devils Bible_.03.JPG" width="460" height="368" /></p>
<p>წიგნი მართლაც რომ გრანდიოზულია. მისი გაბარიტებია: 92 სმ სიგრძე, 50 სმ სიგანე და 22 სმ სისქე. წონით 75 (სამოცდათხუთმეტი) კილოგრამია და დაწერილია ვირის 190 ტყავზე. თავდაპირველად შეიცავდა 640 ფურცელს (თუ შეიძლება ვირის ტყავის პერგამენტს ფურცელი ეწოდოს), აქედან 624 <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1170" title="Codex_Gigas_devil" src="http://kate9alukard.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/codex_gigas_devil1.jpg?w=178" alt="Codex_Gigas_devil" width="178" height="300" />ჩვენამდე კარგადაა შემონახული. რაც ყველაზე გასაოცარია ეს წიგნი დაწერილია ერთი ადამიანის მიერ, ამ წიგნის დაწერას დაახლოებით ოცდახუთწლიანი შრომა დასჭირდებოდა, თუ გავითვალისწინებთ რომ <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1172" title="40964012_952e0885cc_o" src="http://kate9alukard.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/40964012_952e0885cc_o1.jpg?w=113" alt="40964012_952e0885cc_o" width="113" height="150" />წიგნი იგივე ადამიანის მოხატულია, გაფორმებულია ყოველი გვერდი&#8230;  ამ კოლოსალურ სამუშაოს წარმოუდგენლად დიდი ენერგია, დრო და მონდომება ჭირდება&#8230;</p>
<p>წიგნი შეიცავს ძველ და ახალ აღთქმას, ისიდორე სევილიელის &#8220;ეტიმოლოგია&#8221;ს, იოსებ ფლავიუსის &#8220;იუდეის ომები&#8221;, კოზიმ პრაღელის &#8220;ბოჰემიური ქრონიკები&#8221;, რამდენიმე სხვადასხვა თემატიკის ტრაქტატს, მაგიურ შელოცვებს და ასე შემდეგ&#8230;</p>
<p>საერთოდ ცალკე თემატიკაა ეშმაკის გამოსახულება 290 გვერდზე, აქ ეშმაკი წარმოდგენილია ზუსტად ისე, როგორსაც წარმოიდგენდა უბრალო ბერი შუა საუკუნეებში. და კიდევ, წიგნი ამ გვერდზეა ყველაზე მეტად გამქრქალებული, მაგრამ მხოლოდ იმის გამო რომ წიგნი სულ აქ იყო გადაფურცლული <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ეს მეცნიერებმა დაამტკიცეს.</p>

<description><![CDATA[El Codex Gigas, conocido como la biblia del diablo, es un manuscrito en pergamino creado a principio]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-89" title="200px-Codex_Gigas_devil" src="http://enelcafe.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/200px-codex_gigas_devil.jpg?w=89" alt="200px-Codex_Gigas_devil" width="89" height="150" />El Codex Gigas, conocido como la biblia del diablo, es un manuscrito en pergamino creado a principios del siglo XIII y escrito en latín. Fue considerado en su época como la &#8220;octava maravilla del mundo&#8221; debido a su impresionante tamaño (92 x 50,5 x 22 cm), su grosor de 624 páginas y su peso de 75 kg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Se cree que la obra nació de la mano de un solo monje, que bien pudo ser un escribano amateur, esto debido al estilo y calidad del escrito. De igual forma se cree que el autor fue un solo monje ya que no hay indicios claros de la obra fuera elaborada por varias personas.</p>
<p>El Codex contiene completa la versión de la Biblia, a excepción de los Hechos de los Apóstoles y el Apocalipsis. También incluye una serie de enciclopedias, como las Etimologías de Isidoro de Sevilla, las Antigüedades judías de Flavio Josefo, la Chronica Boemorum (Crónica de los checos, redactada en latín en el siglo XII) de Cosmas de Praga y varios tratados de historia, etimología, fisiología, además de un almanaque con necrológicas y la lista de los hermanos del monasterio, fórmulas mágicas y otras noticias locales.</p>
<p>Sin embargo lo que hace famoso a este manuscrito es la sección donde en una de sus páginas se observa un dibujo del diablo a gran escala, algo sumamente inusual para la época. Cabe mencionar que en esa misma sección se encuentran conjuros para llevar a cabo exorcismos.</p>
<p>La leyenda señala que el autor del Codex Gigas fue un monje Benedictino (monjes de túnicas negras) condenado a ser emparedado vivo por un grave crimen y, para que la pena le fuera condonada, el monje propuso crear una obra monumental que honificaría al monasterio. El tiempo estipulado por el mismo monje fue de una noche. La tarea del monje era sobrehumana, por lo que se cuenta que solicitó la ayuda del mismo Satanás.</p>
<p>Por último, en un estudio realizado al Codex Gigas, se calculo que una sola persona escribiendo sin parar terminaría el Codex en 10 años. Unas estimaciones más conservadoras, estimando las actividades que tenían los monjes en esa época, indican que una sola persona se tardaría 30 años en terminarlo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, nun geht es endlich einen kleinen Schritt weiter. Ich hänge ja nun schon Wochen hinterher&#8230; Aber aufgegeben hab ich noch nicht. Im Sommer ist es nur etwas schwerer, sich nach der Arbeit noch an den PC zu fesseln <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Nun starte ich endlich mit Teil zwei der #3 <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Ich habe mir nun einen Account bei Flickr angelegt. Dazu musste ich mich gleich auch noch bei Yahoo anmelden. Naja, darauf kommts jetzt auch nicht mehr an. Mittlerweile hab ich schon so viele Accounts und Passwörter&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-51" title="Národní Kníhovna, Praha" src="http://trylearn.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/pict0629.jpg?w=300" alt="Národní Kníhovna, Praha" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Natürlich habe ich auch gleich mal <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tsefai/">zwei Bilder hochgeladen</a>. Damit es was mit Bibliotheken zu tun hat, zwei Bilder von der Tschechischen Nationalbibliothek, die ich aus meinem Bildarchiv ausgegraben habe.</p>
<p>Die Bilder entstanden während meines Auslandssemesters in<strong> Prag</strong>. Leider habe ich keine Fotos von der Inneneinrichtung der Bibliothek gemacht, da wie bei den meisten Bibliotheken Fotoverbot angesagt war (es gab natürlich trotzdem genug Touris, die sich nicht daran gehalten haben).</p>
<p>Besonders toll war der alte Teil, das Clementinum, in dem zu der Zeit, als wir dort waren auch der<strong> &#8220;Codex Gigas&#8221;</strong>, das größte Buch der Welt zu Besuch war. Der Codex Gigas ist auch unter dem Namen &#8220;Teufelsbibel&#8221; bekannt, weil in der mittelalterlichen Schrift eine der ersten Abbildungen des Teufels zu sehen ist. Leider konnte man die Ausstellung nur nach Voranmeldung (dazu hätte man sich schon Monate vorher auf die Liste schreiben lassen) besuchen. Unser Prof. war dort und hat erzählt, dass jede Besuchergruppe 15 Minuten Zeit hatte, um sich das Buch anzuschauen (natürlich hinter Glas ^^). Zum Glück gibt es ein <a href="http://www.manuscriptorium.com/Manuscriptorium/rep_normal_160/msDisplay.asp?folderID=J/KBSN__A_148__________0YRJ&#38;aRep=http://www.manuscriptorium.com/Manuscriptorium/rep_normal_160&#38;lang=CZ&#38;envLang=eng">Digitalisat des Codex Gigas</a>, so kann man das Buch trotzdem anschauen.</p>

<p>We normally post about our own holdings, or something related to our own holdings, but when I saw the Guardian article and British Library news today on the Codex Sinaiticus project, I was so impressed, I had to share. &#8230;<br />

<p>Visitors to the website www.codexsinaiticus.org can now see images of more than half the 1600-year-old Codex Sinaiticus manuscript. Fragments of the 4th Century document &#8211; written in Greek on parchment leaves &#8211; have been worked on by &#8230;<br />

<p>A treat and a half. The Codex Sinaiticus has gone online, thanks to the British Library, National Library of Russia, St Catherines Monastery and Leipzig University Library: Codex Sinaiticus is generally dated to the fourth century, &#8230;<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Codex Gigas (English: Giant Book) is the largest extant medieval manuscript in the world[1]. It was created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, and is now preserved at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm, where two librarians are needed to lift it. It is also known as the Devil&#8217;s Bible due to a large illustration of the devil on the inside and the legend surrounding its creation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="Codex Gigas - Wikipedia " href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Gigas">Codex Gigas</a> &#8211; The Devil&#8217;s Bible had an hour long show on the <a title="National geographic channel " href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/">National Geographic TV channel</a> and it was also noted in their <a title="National Geographic news " href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/09/photogalleries/wip-week47/photo3.html">National Geographic news</a>. A search of the internet produced only a few illustrations from within the book <a title="Codex Gigas in Stockholm" href="http://www.kb.se/codex-gigas/eng/">Kungl. biblioteket </a>in Stockholm so I took the best one available of the famous Devil and cleaned it up for better web quality viewing.</p>
<div id="attachment_2583" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2583" title="devil_2b1" src="http://probaway.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/devil_2b1.jpg" alt="Devil from Codex Gigas" width="350" height="585" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Devil from Codex Gigas</p></div>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what other people see in this picture but I see a clawed monster-man red in tooth and claw with some entrails hanging out of his mouth and the top half of a former human perched on top of his head to form a macabre head ornament. The opposable  claws look more like a predatory bird&#8217;s talons than human fingers. The extra set of eyes I see as those of a former victim still in the head of the original owner. Or perhaps my following very different rendition is more appealing or scarier.</p>
<div id="attachment_2584" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2584" title="devil_face_1c" src="http://probaway.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/devil_face_1c.jpg" alt="Devils face from Codex Gigas" width="350" height="401" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Devil&#39;s face from Codex Gigas</p></div>
<p>This shows just how different a few selections on the photo effects controls can vary the outcome especially when helped along by my fevered <a title="Scientific American - paternicity article " href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=patternicity-finding-meaningful-patterns">patternicity</a>. This image is cropped from the source, which was from the <a title="Kungl.biblioteket" href="http://www.kb.se/codex-gigas/eng/Browse-the-Manuscript/Djavulen/?=&#38;mode=1&#38;page=577#content">original site in Sweden</a>, and is probably much closer to the original appearance of the face.The original coloring has faded and been overlain with centuries of haze so the colors I have inserted are problematic. The artifacts removed were only ones of age and the attempt was to show you the image as clearly as it would have been done had the original artist been doing the clean up. There are some clean-;up things which probably chould be done, like reddening the upper lip and reducing the greenish overcast but what bothers me the most is the wide band of light source glare running across the eyes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve noticed a lot of searches for the Codex Gigas torrent leading people to this site, to their dismay, perhaps, because there&#8217;s nothing here but linguistic acrobatics. No longer! I aim to give the public what they seek! I had no luck finding the Codex Gigas after I read that article, but today I did a little digging and found a site that reveals the entire manuscript by way of extremely high resolution photos. I imagine a patient and crafty fella or dame could compile a torrent of this book, but this will suffice for now; I&#8217;ve a mind to have a copy of that myself. The content fools me into thinking it&#8217;s comprehensible, but not so, thanks to my marked lack of education when it comes to foreign languages, especially one as Bohemian as this. It&#8217;s called the Devil&#8217;s Bible only because there is a page length drawing of the ol&#8217; splitfoot, in diapers, to boot! More accurately, this book is an historical tome detailing the stories of Israel, and even includes a full copy of both testaments in the Holy Bible. But let&#8217;s not detract from its majesty with histrionic fits over semiotics.</p>
<p>Ladies and Gentlemen, heeeeerrreeee&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.kb.se/codex-gigas/eng/" target="_blank">Codex Gigas</a>!</p>

La noche oscura,<br />
en las sombras inertes<br />
repta rápido.</p>
<p>La mente en caos,<br />
un suplicante triste<br />
le hace un ruego.</p>
<p>Metamorfosis,<br />
el fuego cubre todo<br />
y todo cambia.</p>
<p>Inútil sueño,<br />
el inútil soñador<br />
Está ardiendo ya.</p>
