Talk:Codex Gigas

message: Have tried to clean up this article somewhat. Previous version contained the following in the 'content' section: Very interesting are spiral ornamentations with flower browse. I wasn't sure what this meant so I took it out, feel free to put it back in if you can demystify it. Odmrob 16:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: who know

message: From the first paragraph: "...and the legend surrounding it's creation." I only have one question: what is an "it is creation" and do people who are fluent in English actually contribute to pages like these? 99.234.79.221 (talk) 23:56, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: no RATES?

message: The devil picture appears on page 577 of the book (according to the text and reference) not page 270 as the caption to the image previously stated (I checked 270 and it wasn't illustrated). I've changed the caption Adlab (talk) 21:37, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not page 577 or page 270. Medieval manuscripts are not numbered in pages. Medieval manuscripts are number in folios. The devil is on folio 270 recto (f.270r). This is why wikipedia is so damned stupid. No one knows a god damn thing about anything.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.164.86.20 (talk) 01:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Devil Caption

message: Ok, I just came across this page while browsing about the TV show 'Ashes to ashes'. What struck me was that in the 'Appearance' paragraph it says 'vellum' and 'parchment', two different things. Also, the number of pages in this paragraph are 'eight removed' from 320 pages but 310 pages remain! Can someone with knowledge on this subject please correct 'vellum' vs 'parchment' and '320 = 310 = 8 pages removed' please? Ta, Mondegreen de plume (talk) 10:20, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: 'vellum' and 'parchment' are in theory two different things, but there is no consistent distinction or dividing line - vellum is just high quality parchment, but how high? Many museums now use "animal membrane" but that would be confusing for most readers here.  But we should be consistent. Johnbod (talk) 11:03, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: vellum and numbering

message: The caption of the picture says it's on "Folio 270 recto". The text says it's on "Folio 290 recto". The reference shows the image (as page / image 577), but doesn't actually provide the folio number at all. So which is correct? I don't know enough about how the folios are counted to determine from the wdl reference which is right. --David Edgar (talk) 07:39, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyedit needed 

message: Here is an image of the codex with a person beside the codex which helps to understand 
the size of the codex. I did not find the image in the article, but did not wish to add it
before checking with the authors.  An author can add the image if they wish

replies: text: It's not so much whether we wish to add it as whether or not the photograph's owner says we can.  They would have to donate the image or otherwise release it under the proper rights. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image 

message: The emphasized paragraph is obscure, and it's unclear how it is related to the previous sentence:
"
Legend has it, that it was written by one scribe.[5] Acts 12:25 reads απο Ιερουσαλημ ("from Jerusalem") along with manuscripts: D, Ψ, 181, 436, 614, 2412, ℓ 147, ℓ 809, ℓ 1021, ℓ 1141, ℓ 1364, ℓ 1439, ar, d, vg, Chrysostom; majority reads εις Ιερουσαλημ (to Jerusalem).[6] Acts 18:26 supports reading την οδον of Codex Bezae.[7]

thread_title:  Clarification needed 

message: The Codex Gigas is referred to in popular culture, invoking its legend. Should there be a popular culture section for this article? I know at least the Black Tapes Podcast references the Codex Gigas. IWSchlom (talk) 06:26, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

message: We need to address the description of the Devil portrait. It would seem to be contrary to Rule 9. Write neutrally and with due weight. It should be more impartial and less opinionated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by NetworkingGangsta (talk • contribs) 23:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: @NetworkingGangsta -- I agree.  I took a stab at neutral re-write on Oct 21.  @Johnbod pointed out that it ended up reading clumsily.  @Johnbod, is it alright with you if I take another stab at a re-write of that section? -- Cloud atlas (talk) 02:54, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
