在这部国家地理:魔鬼圣经悬疑/纪录片/历史片中,一群学者与科学家展开一场空前的探索,试图解开所谓「魔鬼圣经」之谜。数百年来,这份中古世纪的手稿充满了各种迷信与传说。据说有一个被诅咒的僧人与魔鬼签订契约,在一夜之间完成这本巨大著作。这数百年间,书中全页的撒旦画像始终令人恐惧而迷惑。如今十分难得地,结合了几位世界顶尖的文本专家,一同研究安全地锁放在瑞典国家图书馆内的古抄本。他们将藉由紫外线荧光影像、笔迹分析与抄本本身的重建,试图发掘魔鬼圣经的真相。
At 165 pounds, and allegedly made from the skins of 160 donkeys, the Codex Gigas is the world's largest and most mysterious medieval manuscript. Filled with satanic images and demonic spells, according to legend, the cursed text sprang from a doomed monk's pact with the Devil. Now, Nat Geo follows a team of scientists as they embark on an unprecedented quest to unravel the secrets behind the book's darkened pages. Using ultra-violet fluorescence imaging, handwriting analysis and a re-creation of the text, forensic document experts attempt to uncover the cryptic truth behind this ancient Devil's Bible.
中古时代的沙之书。说白了就是以讹传讹的结果。
