    A single monk would need the backing of some benefactor to complete such an undertaking. Think of the work that just went into producing the pages alone. 160 animals to be slaughtered, skinned and prepared. Everything had a cost, ink, bindings etc. Book binding was a craft in itself.

    Calling it an evil book was probably just a way to really sell the book, considering it worked as it ended up in the possession of a Holy Roman emperor. This book's reputation mirror's the reverence of Holy Spear Tip of Longinus. Which you should totally talk about at some point, perhaps for Easter. That object walked and talked more than money!

    Necronomicon ex Mortis, The Book of the Dead. Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, this ancient Sumerian text contained bizarre burial rites, funerary incantations and demon resurrection passages. It was never meant for the world of the living. The book awoke something dark in the woods. It took Linda, and then it came for me. It got into my hand and it went bad, so I lopped it off at the wrist. But that didn't stop it, it came back. Big time.

    My thoughts are that this man was a hermit who spent his life working on this book only to have it stolen by some shady monastery and monks who then accused this man of working with the devil so no one would hear his cry for justice for having his book stolen which clearly seems to be a book mixed with knowledge on the forces of dark and light, health and sickness, satan and heaven as much of the medieval age was. This seems most likely to me and I'm even a Christian who believes in the supernatural but I'm also not credulous or superstitious. either

    For all the idiots saying the picture of the devil looks weird and funny. It’s because it’s a long of centuries ago painting in a book. If it were modern it would’ve looked different. The picture depicts of what the sin of the devil is, why do you think he has two tongues when your suppose to have one? Father of (Lies) is the reason. You have one tongue to speak and two ears to hear, think about it. His body represents a dragon when most religions depicts the devil as a evil dragon and dragons don’t have two tongues, but claws and fangs as teeth. Know what your laughing at before you do because dark forces are nothing to play with. Stay bless and God bless.

      @@tomodiochi8035 hello. I don’t give out my social media unless I know you sorry. You can share your email with me if you like to speak personally I wouldn’t mind. But anyways. I know about topics like this because I myself used to be in a lot of dark stuff and God brought me out of it. I don’t know whether you can see posts I commented on here on YT but a woman was telling me about judging. I told her notice how everyone wants to say don’t judge me don’t judge me when clearly all judge and now look at our world. People are crazy as hell now and they want to twist the Bible into what suits their needs. Chaos is everywhere now. The Bible says judge righteously. And she couldn’t come at me because scripture is scripture.
      A satanist girl told me there are no such things as genders like…. Total brainwashed.
      An atheist told me God isn’t real but I told him how come the Bible is speaking of things “TODAY”? He answered and said “I’m a atheist”. The people who are nonbelievers just sound so illogical now.

      Many dragons do have two tongues. Dragons can have anything as they aren't real.
      It is a little presumptuous, in my mind, to claim definitively that that is why he has two tongues. Perhaps it's merely a artistic choice? Perhaps if represents something else?

There is a sacred symbolism used within those pages that when understood, reveals a very Sophisticated and technological Part of History that is being suppressed, even today.

    What’s not often discussed about this book is that it would have been an extremely costly undertaking, bearing in mind this was before the time of printing. It contained several animal skins, which in turn had to be slaughtered, skinned, prepared and hung to dry and then stretched to size, plus the cost of the ink and the process of binding. Much too extravagant for a humble monastery to commission on its own, so they must have had some financial support in the way of a single or several benefactors. As it truly is remarkable in both size and scale .
