I Just Noticed.
The design of the Devil like monster(Archon?) is the exact same design of the Devil o within the legendary 13th century Codex Gigas aka “The Devil’s Bible” with a larger scaly head, two horns, two tongues, and a tiny scrawny imp like body.
The Devil’s Bible is just another copy of the Bible written in Latin, albeit with pictures and packaged with additional texts that were useful at the time it was written, including medical texts. It’s a big a book and it’s been around. Bohemian would get ransacked and conquered and eventually becoming the Czech Republic in modern times. The book would end up in Sweden. There was even an instance where the book survived a fire because someone threw it out the window to save it. And of course it fell on an innocent bystander. The peculiar thing about it is the legend that surrounds it.
It was written in Middle Ages era Bohemia by a figure known as Herman the Recluse. A monk for the Benedictine Monastery at the time.
The legend goes that this Monk was sentenced to be walled alive unless he managed to write a book that glorified the monastery and beyond as a means to repent. And he had to finish it in a day.
Well the legend goes that Herman fell to despair and prayed not to God, but the Devil in order to get the book finished.
Modern cryptologists, graphologists, anthropologists, archaeologists and other “-ists” have studied and tested the book, determined that all this text and all these pictures could have never been compiled in one day if written by one person. It would had to have taken 20 years to finish such a book. Therefore, the legend may be bogus, though the only author that is mentioned is a name, Herman Inclusus, so far as we know it did only have one author. Historical truth is sometimes foggy. A lot of times, old societies can be unreliable narrators, often amping themselves up and demonizing the other side. The book might not have been written in day, but it is impressive relic and it may have been written by a single prisoner writing it nonstop for 20 years. Imagine that.
