Episode description
The Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil's Bible, is a massive text written in the 13th century, allegedly by a man named Herman. Herman is a desperate monk, given the death sentence, who seeks to save himself by writing a book that contains all human knowledge in just one night. Midnight arrives and Herman realizes the feat is impossible, so he enlists some help from the Devil.
Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they dive into the mystery behind the Devil's Bible. This week's booze of choice: homemade old fashioned.
