isn't that weird? or is it in a way that the biblical verses are annotated and criticized ala Half blood Prince's potions book? or is it genuine in the first place?
Why does the Devil's Bible Codex Gigas contain the Bible?
Are you drunk? 
Can we have some more information? Perhaps links to what you're talking about.

No, he might well be drunk, but that's not the full explanation for the post. The Codex Gigas was put together in the thirteenth century, basically as a history. Perhaps the thinking was similar to the Great Books set published a few decades ago. It includes the books the compiler thought were most important, including the Bible, Josephus' history books and some medical texts. I do not know why it is associated with the Devil's name. None of the works I saw included in it should be considered evil. The book is likely a valuable manuscript for verifying the text of a number of works.
