I mean, we are the eternal Bridesmaids. Do we 83 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.480 know? Speaking of which, do we know if we're still on the Parsex 84 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:27.920 list? We are?

Do you know why it's worth it to make sure 87 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.360 that we're in there so that we don't win it? No, so that 88 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.680 we get to record our victory speech. It's so worth it. It is 89 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.279 maybe one of my favorite things we do every year, and we do it 90 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.279 every year. This will be our fifth time. No, fourth, fourth, 91 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:57.279 yeah, fourth, because because last year we were uh emblazoned into the 92 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.839 Bridesmaid Hall of Fame.

And oh, I'm 96 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:24.240 sorry, did someone become a champion of the miscrypted contest. I believe they 97 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.519 did, and I believe you'll get to hear who is crowned. Yes, 98 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.800 there is a coronation in our episode at the end of this episode, so 99 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.279 stick it out with us. Uh and in the meantime, you stick it 100 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.399 out and put it right back in. Okay, Okay, we have fun. 101 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.279 I'm gonna have a good time. I'm gonna learn some stuff about the 102 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:50.040 Codex gigas. Yes, Dave, Yes, let's let's get into this. 103 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:57.360 I'm going to luck at mind Shaw notes and to discuss Codex gigs. At 104 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:03.000 first I thought he was kidding. I'm one other last editorial note. Um, 105 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.720 I started moving out of the city of Chicago and into the city of 106 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.600 Iowa. Launch in this Taco rocket. Well people don't know yet, Yeah 107 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.680 they do. They don't know. Oh I'm moving away rocket launched. Yeah 108 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.759 uh yeah, I'm moving away, which will not affect the podcast. I 109 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.560 don't think much at all. Yeah. My fiance matched for her medical residency 110 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.679 in Iowa. So I'm moving to Iowa. I got a house there now. 111 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.120 I have not slept a lot in the last forty eight hours. That's 112 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.799 been a lot of driving and moving and heavy lifting. I didn't sleep a 113 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.279 lot the night before. I had Flora and his fiance over and a bunch 114 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.600 of friends because it was Mayfest in my neighborhood, so there was It's just 115 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.559 been crazy. So that's why I'm extra weird today. For the record, 116 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.519 Like, I can't stress this enough. Like Flora and I have actually worked 117 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.799 out a long time ago because as both of our our lives always have the 118 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.320 possibility of moving somewhere, and so we've we've done. As you guys have 119 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.120 noticed, we've done a couple of experiments with recording in different places. Yeah, 120 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.440 even when it was not our plan too, Like we did the live 121 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.759 chat last weekend. Yeah, that worked out great. Socrat, we have 122 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.320 the HP Lovecraft episode. We've got tons of stuff. I mean, you 123 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.559 might even have noticed in the uh last Miscrypted contest that a portion of that 124 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.080 was done via telephone. Yeah, we're kind of working the kinks out. 125 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.639 But do not think that this podcast is going to even miss a single episode, 126 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.000 right right, We've got it all worked out so uh And not to 127 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.639 mention, I kind of expect to be back in Chicago. I'm not moving 128 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.960 so far away that I can't be back at least once a month, you 129 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.679 know, like, we've got stuff to do, and so anyway we could 130 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.399 yeah, I mean, well we can get into some of that stuff in 131 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.399 at a later date. But yeah, if we got any listeners in Iowa 132 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.320 City, hit me up. I don't know anybody in that town that I'm 133 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.360 not going to be related too soon, So don't worry. Chicago podcasts go 134 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.840 up. We will still be broadcasting from the city of chicagoge everything will be 135 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:13.799 running through here. Don't change the address those checks get sent to. So 136 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.440 yeah, sorry, boy, you know, yeah, there you go. 137 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.200 Well you've told so many people you probably thought that exactly. I'm just so 138 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.240 used to it being a thing. But yeah, so that's why I'm extra 139 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.519 weird and so enjoy that. Let's will you enjoy that? Flora's let's talk 140 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.120 about I think you will. So. A few historical artifacts hold true mystery 141 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.240 and intrigue like a good book. Dave, don't bait me. It's hard 142 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.799 for a book to survive for a long time because you've gotten just general wear 143 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.600 and tear on it. You'll lend it to a friend you forget which one. 144 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.279 Yeah, there's fire, fire, which destroys it just about everything. 145 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.039 There's water, also destroys light people, silver fish, yeah, book lice. 146 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.399 But those that do survive tend to give us such insight into the world 147 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.879 as it was at the time of the book's creation, that it becomes paramount 148 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.600 to preserve the pages and keep that bit of history alive. But what if 149 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.799 preserving a certain book comes with a price. Oh what if the knowledge gained 150 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.799 by keeping an old manuscript around is equalled by the bad luck of a curse 151 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:30.000 it carries de book? Is it a dib book? Burned it? Burned 152 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:35.480 it? See, sometimes puns can't survive. Yea worse Yet, what if 153 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.039 the book is less a compendium of ideas and more a tool of the prince 154 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:46.480 of darkness? So like pornography? Such are the some claims held by the 155 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:52.960 Codex Gigas, a medieval manuscript famous for many reasons its size, its age, 156 00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.879 it's construction, its contents, but most notably famous for one page holding 157 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.440 an illustration of the devil, the mini handed One, the Father of Lies, 158 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.080 Diabolis, the arch fiend, author of evil Beel's above, the Lord 159 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.200 of Flies, Prima Tintator, Belial, Lucifer, Mephistophelis, the Fallen One, 160 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.000 the King of hell Satan. Oh is that all you got? The 161 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:24.720 Unclean Master, the dream Blighter. As long as we've done this podcast, 162 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.919 I always try to list off no less than four names of the devil every 163 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.279 time. But you knocked a lot of them out. Well, we'll say, 164 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.600 we'll say it here and there. Yeah this, so keep them. 165 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.919 You got it, you got it. I also feel like there are a 166 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.000 lot of enemies in Diablo three that you could just replace. Ooh, that's 167 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.080 well, Belisle was in there already. So but like, what did you 168 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.759 say, dream Blighter? Yeah, that's what about Deckard Caine? I am 169 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:56.720 I not a villain of those cartoon movie games. Pokman Belaiah was the third 170 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:05.320 unholy fiend Devil's pantheon, please interrupt me? So okay, So this This 171 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.519 has led to several nicknames for the Codex, including the Codex Gigantius, which 172 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:18.480 is the Giant Codex Gigas Liborium, the book Giant Faun's Bible, the Devil's 173 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.440 Bible in Hollis Bible, Old Nick's Bible, No no, no, no 174 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.000 no no, that's the fons Biber so in house Biber, which is Old 175 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.600 Nick's Bible, and just spot Walking the black Book. Lots of lots of 176 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.480 nicknames for this old boy. I love it by way, oh oh do 177 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:43.200 old nick also old scratch yea. Pronunciations vary, you can you can say 178 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:50.039 gigas gigas, gigas guy gus. But we're gonna go with the Greek origin, 179 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.879 which uses the letter gamma for hard gez, pronouncing it gigas. It 180 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.840 translates to giant codex. Some call it giant book, but I think that 181 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:05.679 would be lieber gigas in that case, Yeah, it would be. It 182 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.159 was a name for support codex, being a manuscript of pages, especially of 183 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:15.480 classic work or scripture. The book itself is worth mentioning as a historical artifact. 184 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:20.279 However, it's the circumstances of some legends which surround it that weren'ts a 185 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:26.480 closer look by the By these guys, it's said to be written by a 186 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.559 single individual, which is crazy enough given its size and detail. But it's 187 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.960 the legend that this individual may have been the great unclean One himself, who 188 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.559 wrote it in one short night in exchange for a soul otherwise damned on this 189 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.200 mortal plane. We'll be taking a look at how it was made, why 190 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.200 it was made, by whom it was made, it's contents, and the 191 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.480 legends surrounding it. So the devil were set down at a typewriter and he 192 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.960 was looking for a book to steal. Yeah, he was in a bind, 193 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.559 and he was way behind because he had a deadline in the morning. 194 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.559 So he found an old pornographer and said, let me tell you a son 195 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.039 you don't want to burn in hell, get me easier soul as well, 196 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.399 and I'll start on chapter one. Let's start with Yeah, okay, first 197 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.320 and foremotion. All right here, you can go ahead and do what you're 198 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.080 gonna do. But do you know how many times you've mentioned how big this 199 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.840 book is. Don't worry everybody, I got you fam. Its origin is 200 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.519 unknown. We don't know where it came from, but according to a note 201 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.679 in it, the codex was pawned in the monastery at Sedlac in twelve ninety 202 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.919 five CE and has writings from historical figures dating back to the first century CE. 203 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.399 And this was in Bohemia, which is now the Czech Republic, specifically 204 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.240 Podlahizza, then Brevnov near Prague, So that's where whereabouts it's coming out of. 205 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.279 Yeah, straight straight out of Slavis Town. Yeah, well we'll get 206 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.000 back to that, Dave. Do you want to tell us how it looks? 207 00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:00.559 And damn I do so much? Wow? All right, wrath tell 208 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:07.440 you is buck Uh. It is enclosed by thick wooden boards covered with a 209 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:14.480 todd which is a it's a kind of a means of preparing leather white skin. 210 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.240 Um. The covers are elaborately decorated and have pierced metal U corner pieces, 211 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.480 each containing two griffins and one centerpiece, each with a circular raised portion 212 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.039 of which the book would rest when it was closed, so it doesn't actually 213 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.399 yeah to anything, yeah, which is also awarding to you. The bat 214 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.600 cover has two additional pieces, again with a kind of the pierced raised element, 215 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:44.799 that allow the codex to be changed or attached, uh to like like 216 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.759 a pen at a bank. Yeah, like that, so you can't just 217 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.840 swipe this giant ass book. Um. The date of all this metalwork is 218 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.799 uncertain, but some of it probably dates to from before its current binding, 219 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.440 so it was it was rebound later. Yeah, it's been, which happened 220 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.039 all the time. Yeah. It's three feet tall, twenty inches wide, 221 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.119 and almost nine inches thick. All right, this is a book. Yes, 222 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.000 three feet tall. Yeah. Oh and by the way, almost two 223 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.839 wide. Don't forget to put something on there in case someone wants to swipe 224 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.799 it, right, throw it in their knapsack. Because it only weighs a 225 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:29.759 hundred and sixty five ging pounds or almost twelve stone. This actually, this 226 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.559 qualifies it as the biggest medieval Latin manuscript to have survived. It's the king 227 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.400 of them all. Wow, that'll rattle some dogs, right. This thing 228 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.880 contains three hundred and ten leaves of vellum, which were probably, as far 229 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.680 as they know, most likely made from the skin of one hundred and sixty 230 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.440 donkeys. I want to read all of this in the sexy voice. Made 231 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.000 from the skin of the one hundred and sixty donkeys. Oh, that's a 232 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.720 ton of livestock to flay, I mean, yeah, I'm sure they used 233 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.680 the whole buffalo. But that's a lot of dead donkeys. Yeah, yeah, 234 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.160 which is awesome. Yeah, there's not a lot of real estate on 235 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.880 a donkey that you can make a book out. Yeah, they made a 236 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.799 book out of that ass, as far as they know. If they think 237 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.200 that it originally could have been calfskin, they think it was donkeys. But 238 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.720 yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be hard to do the work on that, 239 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.640 but honestly, why, there's some things that you can find out, 240 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.720 but like, what is that going to illuminate? Apparently it originally had three 241 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.279 hundred and twenty sheets, but ten of them were too hot for this podcast 242 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.319 censored. I don't know either someone stole them or cut them out of the 243 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:45.079 book, But there are tenses. The texts were written on ruled guidelines, 244 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:51.200 which, um, is kind of interesting to me. Um, you know, 245 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:56.880 as far as illuminated manuscripts goes like it to me implies a less skilled 246 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:02.000 scribe, like the real pros didn't it don't need them anyway, neither here 247 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:07.519 nor there. So there's two columns of one hundred and six lines each on 248 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.480 each page, so you get two hundred and twelve lines per page. Yeah, 249 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.079 apparently the text size was kind of small. They were able to fit 250 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.680 in quite a few words in then, you know, with a three foot 251 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:25.960 tall book and small letters. About half the Codex consists of the entire Latin 252 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.079 Bible in the Vulgate version, except for the Books of Acts and Revelation, 253 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.839 which are from a pre Vulgate version. Dave, what is the Vulgate. 254 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.920 The Vulgate is the Latin Bible translated from Hebrew and Aramaic by Jerome between three 255 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.279 eighty two and four oh five Common Era. This text became known as the 256 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:48.160 Verso Vulgata, which means the common translation. So it's just a common Latin 257 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:49.720 translation of the battle. I didn't read that, I just knew it, 258 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.440 and I'm glad. Yeah, so you just spac Did I fit you up? 259 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:57.519 You? Spad also contains Hebrew, Greek, and Slavic alphabets, the 260 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:06.839 cyrillic and glog Aletic. The manuscript includes illuminations in red, blue, yellow, 261 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:12.759 green, and gold and purple horse shoes, which they said the pigments 262 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:21.920 for these came from crushed insects when I was in Ireland. Really say, 263 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.000 I'm saying, but I was in Ireland. That's how I started antartic of 264 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.319 stories. It works out great, everyone's impressed. I was at the Trinity 265 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:37.039 Library in Dublin. They had the Book of Kils on display, which is 266 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.359 another manuscript, you know, really elaborately done, very beautiful and stuff. 267 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.400 They had a whole section set up to show you how they came by the 268 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.920 different colors of ink. They had you know, and they it's interesting because 269 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.519 you get it from insects, you get it from plants, things like that. 270 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.319 Crush it up and yeah, mix it blah blah blah. But yeah, 271 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.599 they said the majority of this one was crushed in sex. I guess, 272 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.039 sweet, that's something I feel like I shouldn't one more about, and 273 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.319 I don't know anything about it. Insect dis Yeah. The Codex Gigis contains 274 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:14.599 five long texts, as well as a complete Bible. The manuscript begins with 275 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.920 the Old Testament. It's followed by two historical works by Flavius Josephus, who 276 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.960 lived in the first century CE and who we I believe we talked about him 277 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.759 in misscripted just a short thing. Yeah, he had a little He had 278 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.880 a little dip in there with so did Pliny the Elder with the Indian Estomy. 279 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:40.599 I think, right, was it that one Josephus. His works were 280 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.880 The Antiquities of the Jews and de Bello Utico, the Jewish War. I'd 281 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.880 like to call him Josephus because it sounds more fun, but anybuddy, but 282 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.559 that's not his name, so we can't. Maybe it is, I don't 283 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:59.920 know. After Josephus Josephus. After his works were the Encyclopedia of the Middle 284 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:06.319 Ages Etymologia by Isidore who lived in the sixth century in Spain, and that's 285 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:11.519 followed by a collection of medical works of Hippocrates, Theophilis, Philaritis, and 286 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.680 Constantinus, and these are followed by the New Testament. The last of the 287 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.920 long works is a chronicle of Bohemia by Cosmos from Prague who lived around the 288 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:27.079 end of the eleventh century CE. This is the first history of Bohemia and 289 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.039 it's pretty important to know what was going on around there at the time. 290 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.039 And then also in there you've got some some of the pages are a calendar, 291 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.359 there's some magical spells. It's really just town portal though. Yeah, 292 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.799 I mean it's it's good, but it's not like awesome. No chain lightning 293 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:55.440 and and a text on exorcisms. Yeah, it's interesting, Like part of 294 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.519 me thinks, oh, they just kind of are binding books altogether. But 295 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:02.599 it's so big. How many looks that size? Where they finding so or 296 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.759 did someone make one big gass book and then they're filling it or it just 297 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.839 seems like everything is kind of disparate and added over time. Boy, that 298 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.480 that is that's hard to suss out because well, I don't I don't want 299 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.119 to tip the fedora too soon, Mi lady. Um, Well, you 300 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:23.279 know there's no point because you know, girls you just don't like guys who 301 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:29.000 are nice. I think that the I think all the works had been done 302 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.000 by the time this was made. Yeah, and well you'll see why. 303 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.599 Towards the end, you'll see why it is. But you'll see why. 304 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.759 It does seem like they just kept adding on to it. And you know, 305 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.640 some people kind of think that it was picked up and added to and 306 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.000 there are some some parts in here that well it almost see evidence of some 307 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.839 of that. Yeah, I mean it almost has to be, given the 308 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.960 scope of what you know, chronologically covers. You know, I'm not saying 309 00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.599 everything had to be written when it happened, but right, right anyway, 310 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.559 moving on, Uh. Yeah, the decoration on the codex comprises two full 311 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.839 page pictures, two marginal pictures, and fifty seven decorated initials everyone knows, 312 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:12.759 you know, like the the glorious tea of an illuminated manuscript. Yeah, 313 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.880 manuscript, that's that is the word, the huge swirly eye for the word 314 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.640 in right, Yeah, it's a page sized eye exactly in the beginning there 315 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.039 are two full page pictures representing the Heavenly City, and on the opposite page 316 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.599 dear book picture the Devil. The devil, and that picture is the number 317 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.640 one reason why the book is known is as well known as it is. 318 00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:48.039 The picture is twenty inches tall, with a yellow gold body, green face, 319 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.680 not one but two red tongues maybe of fire coming out of the corners 320 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:59.400 of his mouth, two red horns, and four fingers and four toes on 321 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:04.640 each hand and foot ending in long red claws. He's he's also, for 322 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.319 your edification, covered himself in some sort of spotted diaper type thing um and 323 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:18.000 um kind of looks like heartboxes. It's adorable, like the little white boxers 324 00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:21.799 with little bred hearts on them. Man, that's what I thought of when 325 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:26.720 I saw His portrayal was sinister enough to those back in medieval Europe that as 326 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.119 the years went by, people started noticing that the pages leading up to it 327 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.680 are somewhat blackened. Uh. Like you said, everything else in this book 328 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:42.400 was very clean, and that the pages were discolored around the image of the 329 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:47.440 devil, which we will come back to a little bit later. So not 330 00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.720 only was this book extraordinarily well preserved, but one of the most intriguing things 331 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.920 about it is that the contents of it not so much. You know, 332 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.920 we just talked about how disparate some of the things are, but the manner 333 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:04.359 in which they were written is very uniform. Then the style that the nature 334 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.480 of the writing is uniform throughout, and so it almost shows that it was 335 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:15.440 done overnight. No um, but there is not a there aren't any telltale 336 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.680 signs of exactly something happening too. Yeah, they didn't. They didn't have 337 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.000 to switch scribes. There's no evidence that the scribe was getting older and his 338 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.240 penmanship was getting worse or anything like that. It is. It is remarkably 339 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:33.039 uniform throughout. So that's that's worth noting. Old timing Printer. Yeah, 340 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.440 let's talk about some some of the history of its legends, some of the 341 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.680 legends, some of the legends. As mentioned, the first evidence of its 342 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:47.720 origin was a pawning at Sedlec in twelve ninety five. Writings and information recorded 343 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:52.680 in the codex seemed to end in the year twelve twenty nine. So the 344 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:59.440 stuff that was written there people have dated back up until twelve twenty nine that's 345 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.160 the last it's like the last recent thing. Yeah. From fourteen seventy seven 346 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.480 to fifteen ninety three, it was kept in the library of a monastery in 347 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.319 Brumov until it was taken to Prague in fifteen ninety four to form a part 348 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:18.039 of the collections of the Emperor Rudolph the Second. Now this hip cat will 349 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.880 be rearing his ugly ass head later on in the season, I'm sure, 350 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.160 And we've already kind of I think touched on him here and there. I 351 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.839 think we mentioned him in count of Saint Germain. You'd have to, you're 352 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.279 the boss there. I don't, but I trust your judgment on that. 353 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:41.720 He is a pretty interesting node, a kind of connector point for a lot 354 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.519 of cool stuff that's going on that we actually have started touching on. I 355 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:52.839 don't like touching on it, so we should do. Oh yeah, you 356 00:27:53.039 --> 00:28:03.960 should do. Honey? Is is makes such nice honey. At the end 357 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.279 of the Thirty Years War in sixteen forty eight, his entire collection was taken 358 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:12.319 as spoils of war by the Swedish Army. It then entered the collection of 359 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.519 Queen Christina of Sweden and put into the Royal Library in the Castle at Stockholm. 360 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.359 In May sixteen ninety seven, a fire broke out at the castle and 361 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.039 the Royal Library suffered very badly, as libraries often do in fires. They 362 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:33.519 are suffering libraries. The codex was rescued from the flames by being thrown out 363 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.920 of a window, and it apparently injured a bystander, and some of its 364 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:42.000 leaves fluttered away, still missing to this day. Oh there they are. 365 00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:47.200 In September two thousand and seven it returned to Prague on loan from Sweden. 366 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:52.160 When were we wondering where they were before? It's one of those things where 367 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.240 people shut a door and keep on walking through the room, I guess to 368 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.200 September two thousand and seven. Returned to Prague from Sweden until January two thousand 369 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:06.599 and eight, and was on display at the Czech National Library. The uniformity 370 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.400 of calligraphy at illustrations, along with the picture of the Master of Demons, 371 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.640 has led to some legends about its creation. Truly, it seems as if 372 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:21.119 the book were written in a short amount of time by a very skilled hand, 373 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.359 perhaps the mini handed one. The most popular story attributing this craftsmanship concerns 374 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:33.440 a lone Benedictine monk from the Middle Ages. This monk apparently committed a grievous 375 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:38.200 infraction against his monastery and was sentenced to be walled up alive within the monastery 376 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:44.000 indefinitely. In his desperation to avoid such a fate, it said, he 377 00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:48.119 offered to pin in one night a huge religious text, the likes of which 378 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.599 the world had never seen. It was agreed that if the monk could accomplish 379 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.839 this task in one night, then he would be freed. Not long after 380 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:03.400 beginning the task, realized the futility of it, so he prayed for help. 381 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.079 However, he prayed not to God, the Father, or the Man 382 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:12.200 Jesus, but to old Scratch himself. Ah, Yes, to him complete 383 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:22.119 this monumental and impossible feat describe Tainter. Yeah. The scribe Tainter himself appeared 384 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.119 and agreed to complete the book for the monk if the monk would promise his 385 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:37.759 soul to him. Sorry. The monk agreed, and the great filth Magistrate 386 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.880 himself completed the book in thanks. The monk included a large illustration of the 387 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.480 adversary and was done in time to be set free, but lost his peace 388 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.880 of mind until he finally turned to the Holy Virgin be seeching her to save 389 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.440 him. She agreed to help, but the penitent died on the very point 390 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:04.000 of being absolved from his dark pact with the unholy abyssal Legate Dave, if 391 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.319 you want to pick it up and and also add your your other names for 392 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.720 the devil, so many names for the devil, none of them have such 393 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:18.079 formalized jobs as you. It was through It's it's a long and history that 394 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.480 the legends of the curse started to show up. Um. You know obviously 395 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.920 the fifteenth century the monaster was held destroyed. Uh he would. I'm sure 396 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.480 it would be safe if we put it in a royal library. Right it 397 00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.599 wasn't burned. Well, don't worry, guys, I'll chuck it out of 398 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:36.680 a window. I'm sure something will break its fall. Oh an innocent bystander, 399 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.079 damn it. No matter where that unlucky. No matter where you land, 400 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.279 the thing is off you want. It's true. It's like Finland's next 401 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.519 door. Uh. There's a Swedish book that was published in eighteen fifty eight 402 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.559 told a story of a porter who was locked inside the library's main reading room 403 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.279 after falling asleep. Also the basis for the Never Ending Story um. Upon 404 00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.519 awakening, he had a vision of the books moving of their own accords from 405 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:08.839 the shelves and hovering about in a whirling dance. A large clock, normally 406 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:15.160 out of order began striking the hours. Books surrounding the Devil's Bible began falling 407 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.680 all over in all directions. Then the giant book itself joined in the dance. 408 00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.279 The following morning, the porch, literally terrified out of his wits by 409 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:28.960 dancing books. Oh yeah, what a time to be alive, was found 410 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.359 underneath the table. These are people who died from just like scraping their knee. 411 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:38.559 Armies invaded and people were slaughtered, and public executions and stocks and burnings 412 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.839 of witches. And this guy, scared of dancing books, papercuts. Dude, 413 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.920 literally terrified out of his wits, was found underneath the table, and 414 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.839 from that time forth he was and remained insane and had to be taken to 415 00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:59.880 the madhouse. It was said that sadness and tragedy will haunt the footsteps of 416 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.839 anyone who possesses the codex. It said that one of the previous owners a 417 00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.519 monastery was struck with one of the worst episodes of bubonic plague, and record 418 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:13.200 after taking possession of the Devil's Bible. The current library in Sweden seems immune 419 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.799 to the curse so far. Oh no way, Sorry guys, din'd you 420 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.680 love how much? We said? It? Said? Yeah? I know, 421 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:23.599 you know, yeah, we'll see. How about this? The ten 422 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:29.839 missing pages also a mystery, are they? I mean it fell out of 423 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.039 a book in the window. True, and as no one quote knows where 424 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.200 they're gone. While there's no definite explanation for this, there was. It's 425 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.359 believed that during the years, some of the pages were removed because they contained 426 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:45.440 information that could be dangerous for the common man to know. Of of course, 427 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:51.640 the recipe for chicken in a bucket led into gold and all the entrances 428 00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:59.240 to the underground reptilian monotomic gold mines. Others have speculated the pages were stolen, 429 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:01.720 or some one long ago deemed the information contained in the missing pages to 430 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.680 be offensive to the customs and thoughts of the day. Well, okay, 431 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.920 well, I want to go through this one funzy style first of all, 432 00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:19.280 style on the back of a motorcycle shop. Okay, So first and foremost 433 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.559 it was they said the book was chucked out of a window, and some 434 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.480 lost pages and lost pages. Okay, so one and done there. Let's 435 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.920 just ignore that part. Some of the pages were cut out because they were 436 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.880 offensive to the sensibilities of the day. Oh no, no, keep the 437 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.159 giant picture of the devil. Leave it in. And also it was super 438 00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.559 I mean even now at the auction house, you know, I sell, 439 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:46.840 I don't personally sell, but my outmart where I work, we auction off 440 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:52.800 eliminated manuscript pages all the time. They're yeah, people cut those things to 441 00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:59.639 ribbons all the time because you want to make money. You take a book 442 00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:01.800 with one hundred pages in it, you buy it for fifty bucks, and 443 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:06.880 you sell each page for a dollar. You just doubled your money. People 444 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.960 did it all the time. It's why it's one of the reasons why complete 445 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:15.599 volumes are so valuable now, because it was such a common practice. It 446 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:19.519 doesn't it doesn't have to be dark, unknown knowledge. It just had to 447 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:24.280 be a pretty page. Maybe you were friends with a guy named Indiana and 448 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.039 the eye was really well illustrated on that page and the word in here you 449 00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:35.920 go Indie, and he's like, actually this belongs to a museum. Also, 450 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:43.239 the dog's name is Indie. You would man after the dog. I 451 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:46.760 love your selah. Yeah, so yeah, you know, I feel like 452 00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.000 they had a really good reason, but like it doesn't like, oh, 453 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.239 this was too diabolical for you to see. Yeah, they would have cut 454 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:58.440 the devil out of that thing in a heartbeat. Some some people think the 455 00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.199 monastic rules of the Benedicts were in there too. Did they have to keep 456 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.320 those secret from everybody? Is a part of the delio with him. I 457 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.920 don't think they are. I don't know for sure, but it's like even 458 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:13.000 even groups that have secret rules, they got out all the time, like 459 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:19.000 the Freemasons, tons of secret rules. That's that. That was always like 460 00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:22.280 a quote unquote closely guarded secret. You could get it, you know. 461 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:27.880 Yeah, well, let's let's continue on the explanation train. Yeah, next 462 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:31.239 stop. The author m dud dude choga choka. Hey, you know what, 463 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.840 the book most likely was written by one man. There's good evidence for 464 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:39.199 that, given the inc and calligraphy. It seems that one individual is responsible 465 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.920 for all of it. So who was it is me? It was the 466 00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:49.039 staved Gieca's Chieca, it's me. We don't know. It's been put forth 467 00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:57.480 that he was the monk Herman whose name with the cognomen inclusus orrs Monicus Inclusis 468 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.039 showed up on a necrology in a note which is which is just the opposite 469 00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:05.800 of a birth announcement. I mean it's um, you know these people, 470 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.159 you know, when when did this guy die? Boom there it is right, 471 00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:13.000 so yeah, so he shows up on a necrology. The epithet inclusis 472 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:17.039 was linked with the legend of the walled up sinful monk, having scribed the 473 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:22.039 Codex Gigus in its entirety during one single night with the assistance of the foul 474 00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:32.079 master of librarians. Librarians inherently you're getting that latta a jab jab yeah. 475 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:39.480 But but the term inclusis or reclusis really denotes a recluse i e. A 476 00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:45.199 person most mostly affiliated to a monastery, living in isolation in a sale for 477 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:52.239 religious or ascetic reasons, or more rarely ailes reclusa, also known as the 478 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.400 brown recluse fighter as as a know your enemies as your self floor form of 479 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.679 penitence. After a trial period of at least one year, they could be 480 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.440 locked in a cell by a bishop who would affix his seal to the cell 481 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.320 door, and sometimes these sell would be walled up and a rick wi a 482 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:15.400 mass sung for the reclusis, symbolizing a funeral. This way of life was 483 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:20.760 not uncommon among Benedictines and Cistercians. That sounds like awful, a little weird, 484 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.480 a little weird. I mean, well, you know what, there 485 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.880 was that whole thing that Jesus said was like, hey, if you love 486 00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:28.480 me, seal yourself up in a room, yeah, and have your friends 487 00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:34.519 sing death masses. Right. The designation reclusis is not uncommon in medieval acrologies, 488 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.599 Sobislas has also been a year welcome. It's also been suggested as the 489 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:44.599 name of the scribe. This name occurs in a prayer to the Virgin Mary 490 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:47.239 added in the margin on one page. Just scribbled it in there, like 491 00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:52.960 inheriting a middle school text. Right, yeah, it just said S plus 492 00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:59.440 VM or ever. But this prayer is in a different hand from the rest 493 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.800 of the man script, which added later in the thirteenth century. Exactly. 494 00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.639 I mean, this guy's not going to go through all that work and then 495 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.320 be like, oh yeah, and don't forget me. Yeah never, by 496 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.679 the way, love vit Mary, Dave. How about how how about the 497 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:19.119 question of whether or not it was done in one night. Man, think 498 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:24.599 anyone who has ever had to write a paper overnight. Actually I wouldn't use 499 00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:29.760 that excuse. Oh I would be on my college days. That's that's all 500 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.480 that happened, right, And how was how long was the longest paper you 501 00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:38.280 ever did? That? Way? Ten pages? Okay, so this is 502 00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.840 I only did as much as I was told to, right, But that 503 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:47.119 well, that's my point though, Like this thing is two hundred and twelve 504 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.000 column, two hundred and twelve lines per page, three hundred and ten pages 505 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:59.760 done in hand. So let's just ignore source, Like where he's sourcing them. 506 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.840 Here is how he's deciding what's going to go in in what order, 507 00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:07.400 in addition to the illuminations on the page, each of which can take hours. 508 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:13.599 I mean, there's just nope, no, Well, they've they've done 509 00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:19.840 tests and recreations to show how long it takes to make an illustrated manuscript. 510 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.039 Oh yeah, you make one mistake on a page, Now you've got to 511 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:28.920 scrape that whole vellum clean and start over. Although it's it's difficult to estimate 512 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:35.719 how long it took, they have kind of mathed it out to say one 513 00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:40.239 scribe could have written one column in the codex one hundred and six lines in 514 00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:45.679 a day. If they worked for six hours a day and wrote six days 515 00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:50.760 a week, then they could have completed it in about five years. But 516 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.480 if he was a monk, he had other duties, right, and he 517 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.320 may have only been able to work for about three hours a day on it, 518 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.480 and that means would have taken ten years to write. As a scribe 519 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:08.039 may also have ruled the lines to guide the writing before he began to write 520 00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:13.039 it, which you know, took several hours just to rule it out and 521 00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:16.760 get it all. Even that extends the period it took to complete it. 522 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.119 Then you have the decoration on there, the illustrations, all that, and 523 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.000 then you're getting up to about twenty years, maybe even thirty before you can 524 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.400 finish something like this. Yeah, and like you said, make a mistake, 525 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:32.480 scrape at start over again. And I would say, you know, 526 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:37.400 if you're sitting down to a project that big, I don't kill yourself, 527 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.000 give yourself, I don't think. I mean, first of all, if 528 00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:44.519 he was sequestered, maybe they'd give him, you know, more time to 529 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:46.360 do it right. You know, maybe he would work more than six hours 530 00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:50.599 a day, maybe ten or twelve a day without going crazy, who knows, 531 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:52.639 or maybe he was already crazy. That's so he's able to do it. 532 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.760 But like things like lining the pages. If all the pages are uniform 533 00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.559 and you know that you're going to do this hundreds of times, Um, 534 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:05.079 it's not uncommon from them to make like a wooden jig, you know, 535 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.519 you place it over the page, you know, so you don't you're not 536 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:10.719 doing the right the calculations because you'll always make mistakes that way. But if 537 00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:14.199 you just have a uniform thing, there's a lot of things that would cut 538 00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.920 that down. But like like you said, oh oh, everything went great 539 00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:21.079 and he did it super fast. So he only did it in twenty years, 540 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.199 right, three years. That's still three years of all day, every 541 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:29.239 day writing and never making mistakes. Yeh woof, yeah you know he made 542 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.039 mistakes. Yeah you don't. That's why God made a race is Oh no, 543 00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:38.760 wait, he hadn't yet. That's that is why librarians are on the 544 00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:45.199 devil side. How about those blackened pages around the devil? How about the 545 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:47.440 fact that it's the one picture in the whole damn book, so that's what 546 00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:52.800 everyone flips too. It's just a simple question to traffic with that many hands, 547 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.679 dirty, little grubby hands, one that tasted a devil. Well, 548 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.480 maybe they will see the City of Heaven. Who knows it's the devil. 549 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:06.559 It's the devil, human night, it is the devil, the light getting 550 00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:10.000 in, the exposure that it's getting, the sea bum that's getting on there. 551 00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:15.320 Hate that word, I hate it. Yeah, that's all boom. 552 00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:21.880 The speaking of those two pictures too. Was it a an homage to the 553 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:28.159 Admiral of the Lake of Fire Navy. I think it's the rear rear admiral 554 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.079 or Admiral of the the of the Wedgie Patrol, just because wedgies for people. 555 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:36.679 I think, is that just dedicated to him? No? I think 556 00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.960 that it was. Um. I mean, if it was dedicated the devil, 557 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:43.360 why include the entire Bible? Why do the City of Heaven? Right? 558 00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.199 Exactly? I think it's it's the it's the other half of a diptych. 559 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:52.039 It's it's a it's a two part singular work. Like here's the one 560 00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.000 side, here's the other City of Heaven. Devil balls in a in a 561 00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.480 in a diaper, devil diaper. Gotta have it all balance it out. 562 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:06.880 It's contrast. It's made to show the little salty yep. So in the 563 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.840 end, it's it's a pretty marvelous book. It is impressive as hell, 564 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:15.840 and there's you can go on Netflix. There is, um I haven't looked, 565 00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.639 but I know that I watched a documentary about this years ago. So 566 00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:21.519 I don't know if it's still on there, but there are. I'm sure 567 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.880 it's on YouTube. There are great documentaries about this point. Yeah, I 568 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.159 believe National Geographic did one. I didn't watch that. I think that may 569 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.000 be the one that I saw. Yeah, I think there may have even 570 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.159 been a movie made called The Devil's Bible. Didn't watch that, didn't didn't 571 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:39.599 see it. So you've seen that, let us know. How what do 572 00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:45.199 you think of it? But it's completely fantastic and good on the human that 573 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.079 did it. But yeah, it does not mean it's supernatural. Nope, 574 00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.039 it's just impressed. I mean it honestly. The only thing to my mind 575 00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:57.360 that makes it supernatural is that it is as big as it is and it's 576 00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.320 survived as long as it has. It is supernatural. Really lucky as f 577 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:05.760 right, and these guys have put f in there, don't swears as far 578 00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:09.199 as a curse with it. Again, Like I really scraped the barrel to 579 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.760 try and find the examples that we had. Well, here's the thing if 580 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:17.039 okay, most of that was like it's said that this happens. You know, 581 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:22.880 you've got a book that is let's take the average one thousand years old. 582 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.559 Let's say it's somewhere in there. Every person who ever had that book 583 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:31.800 is dead. Yeah. A lot of those people are going to statistically die, 584 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:37.800 not of natural causes. I mean, it's you can manufacture a curse 585 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.519 for anything that has been passed around. Um yeah, there's going to be 586 00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.199 fires and people dying. And a guy had picked the book up and then 587 00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:49.840 just a week later he fell down some stairs and died. You know, 588 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.480 like you that's just history, that's just statistics. There's no Yeah, yeah, 589 00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:57.800 we I think we touched on stuff like that and the Curse of the 590 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:01.440 Pharaoh's episode. Yeah did all those guys were adventurers living at the edge. 591 00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:06.480 Yeah, good on them. So there you go. That's it. That's 592 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:12.960 that's what we got for the Old Codex. Gigas in a town, the 593 00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:20.920 skinned the skin of one hundred and sixty jackasses, covering with with metal cornered 594 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:24.960 Nutshell, yeah, I like that. Um, you know there was another 595 00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:30.599 appendix to that book made of a real appendix and made out of made of 596 00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:34.239 a real appendix. Um, it was actually underneath the metal back plate. 597 00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.159 It turns out, I thought that plate. You thought that plate was to 598 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.639 keep it from being taken. No, it was just the other way. 599 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:44.239 It was meant to hold something in. Oh yeah, because underneath that back 600 00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:58.239 plate was sixteen hundreds era. It just say punds just stopped talking and say, 601 00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:00.880 pods, that's what I did. Or how about you go first? 602 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.320 Do you want me to Well, here's something I think you'll like. There's 603 00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:09.840 a great transportation service implemented in Texas nowadays that helps folks who don't have a 604 00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:14.840 lot of money travel across the strip the state. Oh it doesn't cost a 605 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:19.079 dime, but it sure takes its sweet time, and many people think of 606 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:23.000 it as socialism thought up by the devil. What But if you have to 607 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:27.639 get somewhere in the lone star state you don't have any money and don't think 608 00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.280 it's a tool of the devil, and you don't mind how long it takes, 609 00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:36.159 you can hop on board the slow text free bus. Holy that was 610 00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:39.000 pretty good, Slow tex Yeah you got there. You front loaded it. 611 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:45.199 You know. There was a recent art show in Berlin that was an artist 612 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:53.119 who's very famous, and it was just pictures of giant books and an alien 613 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:59.599 books. And then sometimes the books have like vaginas on them visians, yeah, 614 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:05.559 like skulls, Like there's like a big death sexuality, foreignness to it 615 00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:09.760 all, and the artist is hr gigis yeah, I smell yeah, yeah, 616 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.639 I took that punt and honestly I did it. I did it to 617 00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:19.519 save all of you the time to write that punt and centered all right, 618 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:22.840 all right, there's a swell guy. He keeps to himself and doesn't go 619 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:24.639 out much, but it's okay because he's got friends, like a genie, 620 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:31.360 a pterodactyl in a chair. It is Peyrey Herbin, the Reclus. Wow, 621 00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:38.280 that was awesome. That was really awesome. Recent scientists have actually done 622 00:48:38.320 --> 00:48:45.000 some extra work on the codex um, you know, using scanning electron microscopes 623 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:52.199 and and even looking at the structure of the pages themselves, and it turns 624 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.599 out that it isn't vellum of any form at all. It's actually a hyper 625 00:48:55.760 --> 00:49:01.920 dense energy matrix. It is. It's it's almost like a energy made solid 626 00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:07.239 and if they could just find a way to release it, it they theorize, 627 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.360 because god knows what would happen, it would be a huge amount of 628 00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:15.079 energy. It might even be enough energy to travel through time, because they 629 00:49:15.239 --> 00:49:21.960 estimate that there's at least one point twenty one gigawatts in there. Nice, 630 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.280 you know, I ran across that. I was looking up how to pronounce 631 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.320 three in the paint. No, no, I'm this is me talking. 632 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:34.320 I was looking at how to pronounce gigas, And in some conversation that was 633 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.639 on some forums, someone was like, oh, that was that was one 634 00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:43.320 thing that Doc Brown said, weirdly, was one point twenty one jigawatts. 635 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.199 And it's like, if you're not going with the geek and you're going with 636 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:51.280 like where it eventually got to, which is giant or gigantic, then gigas 637 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:54.000 or jagas you know, makes sense. But if you're going with the old 638 00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:59.400 gamma, yeah, gamma gamma, then it's gigas. But yeah, it 639 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:04.840 is true that he said jiggawats and should have been gigawatts a gigabyte, right, 640 00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:09.320 Yeah, that's weird. So well, MS pumps, that's a good 641 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:14.920 harmony on that one. Sure it was, So I tell myself. Oh 642 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.719 god, wait, Flora, wait what some some bunch of Randy old assholes 643 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.840 got a hold of it and started writing notes in the margins. Oh yeah, 644 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:36.559 looks like a whole bunch of listener man. I just call you, 645 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:42.559 guys, Randy old asoles. I told you from the beginning. Oh, 646 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.199 I need to sleep so badly. All right, I think I think you'll 647 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.800 like this one. We've heard from Pastor Tony, whoa just in time. 648 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.159 Pastor Tony says, I've been listening to the show for a while, thought 649 00:50:54.159 --> 00:51:00.639 he'd wright in. Oh. I think he meant collecting evidence. I'm Baptist 650 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:05.840 preacher in Indiana and love all the weird stuff you guys. Can I also 651 00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:08.840 appreciate how you challenge organized religion with some of your topics. It makes me 652 00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:13.440 look deeper into my faith and think about why I believe. I also share 653 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:19.000 Stecco's disdain for certain conservative Christian groups and think they really give Christians a bad 654 00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:21.679 name. But thanks again for the podcast, keep up the good work. 655 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:23.960 Thank you, and a good suggestion. Thank you, Pastor Tony.

He cuts a path of destruction. 673 00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:36.360 I thought I would tell you guys about a TV show I remembered from the 674 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.400 nineties. In nineteen ninety six, the WB tried to reach out to the 675 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:45.639 untapped Jewish tween demographic. After this success of shows like Goosebumps, they began 676 00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:51.599 recording Are You Afraid of the Dibbuck noice? No, thanks General, thank 677 00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.639 you?

You guys are glad you didn't see that hand gesture. 687 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:42.719 It was it was so bad, so bad everybody it was. It matched 688 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:45.880 the sound perfect. Yeah, you know, like, like we said, 689 00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.679 might be kind of boring for a regular episode, so why not pay for 690 00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:54.239 one? We'll figure it out. Yeah, Dave, we've heard from Irmager 691 00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.840 Pigler Dirg Perglar Dirg. I've been a listener for a little while, for 692 00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:05.039 a little over here now, and I've been through the archives and new episodes 693 00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:10.960 several times over and also recruited her fiance to the Blue Reaver ranks. Yes, 694 00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:16.039 thank you, she says. She prowls the subs of Imgur and now 695 00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:20.880 on the lookout for anything crypto related. You know what that reminds me the 696 00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:25.199 last time I saw one of those silly here here are the podcast you should 697 00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:30.599 be listening to posts make it to the front page, which is always the 698 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:37.159 same list. It's like the top ten of every podcast list that's out there. 699 00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:38.199 Although I am really happy because you know what I'm starting to see on 700 00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:43.199 those lists is our friends from the Chicago podcast Cooperative, Hello from the Magic 701 00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.480 Tavern.

I don't think there's any thought to it at 704 00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:57.280 all. But the point of me bringing this up is that way down in 705 00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.679 the ranks, of the comments, someone said blurry photos. Oh I saw 706 00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:05.239 that.

He'll love 713 00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:28.840 it and then hate. It's a lover hater anyway. Sorry, we couldn't 714 00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:30.639 make it up for the live show. Got to save up for their wedding. 715 00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:34.719 I understand that.
