The video discusses three mysterious books: the Devil's Bible, the Gnostic Gospels, and the Saiga Book.
The Devil's Bible is a giant handwritten book from the 13th century, containing the full text of the Bible, the works of Josephus, and other texts. It's also known for its full-scale image of Satan and its impressive size, making it the largest handwritten book in Western European book tradition.
The Gnostic Gospels are a set of books written in the 4th century in the Coptic language. They are considered secret books and were discovered in 1945 in southern Egypt. These books contain alternative Christian teachings and are still shrouded in mystery.
The Saiga Book is a medieval treatise from the 16th century, containing teachings on magic, normal phenomena, mystical spells, astrology, and demonology. The book is written in Latin, but it also features 40,000 strange symbols that have not yet been deciphered.
The video also mentions the Decretum Gregorii IX, a collection of canon law ordered by Pope Gregory IX, which features unusual illustrations, including scenes of violence and strange creatures. Some believe that these illustrations might be connected to black magic and the occult.
Lastly, the video touches on the Necronomicon, a book mentioned in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, which is believed to be able to summon dark creatures from another world. There's speculation that the Necronomicon might be connected to the Decretum Gregorii IX or the Saiga Book.
