Going through the devil's Bible, I

Going through the devil's Bible, I
notice how detailed and perfectly

00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,560
notice how detailed and perfectly
97
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,550
notice how detailed and perfectly
calligraphed it is. That's why many
98
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:16,560
calligraphed it is. That's why many
99
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,869
calligraphed it is. That's why many
believe a human couldn't have written it
100
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:18,879
believe a human couldn't have written it
101
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:22,630
believe a human couldn't have written it
by hand. It looks supernatural. Yet, we
102
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:22,640
by hand. It looks supernatural. Yet, we
103
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,589
by hand. It looks supernatural. Yet, we
know that whoever wrote it finished the

know that whoever wrote it finished the
105
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,309
know that whoever wrote it finished the
book around 1230. It contained the
106
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:28,319
book around 1230. It contained the
107
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:30,470
book around 1230. It contained the
entirety of human knowledge. This is
108

entirety of human knowledge. This is
109
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,710
entirety of human knowledge. This is
unarguably the most important medieval
110
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:32,720
unarguably the most important medieval
111
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,670

book we've ever found. But officially,
113
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,869

from all over the world agree a single
117
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,190
from all over the world agree a single
person wrote that book. They estimate it
118
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:43,200
person wrote that book. They estimate it
119
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,350
person wrote that book. They estimate it
would have taken him between 20 and 30
120
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:45,360
would have taken him between 20 and 30
121
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,309
would have taken him between 20 and 30
years. But what's shocking is the writer
122
00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:48,319
years. But what's shocking is the writer
123
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,869
years. But what's shocking is the writer
didn't commit a single mistake. Can you
124
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:50,879
didn't commit a single mistake. Can you
125
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:54,390
didn't commit a single mistake. Can you
imagine not a single scribal error while

imagine not a single scribal error while
127
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,430

131
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:02,550
pen? I've used one of these and I know
that's impossible. Experts also expected
132
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:02,560
that's impossible. Experts also expected
133
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,670
that's impossible. Experts also expected

there was none of that. They didn't even
141
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,790
there was none of that. They didn't even
notice any skill increase throughout.
142
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:14,800
notice any skill increase throughout.

159
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,030

160
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:33,040
starting point. I made a list of people
161
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,030

who lived or passed around the monastery
163
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,750
who lived or passed around the monastery

00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,589
in the same century. But that wasn't
enough. Knowing the complexity of the
166
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:39,599
enough. Knowing the complexity of the
167
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,149
enough. Knowing the complexity of the
book, not anybody could write it. So I
168
00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:42,159
book, not anybody could write it. So I
169
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,309
book, not anybody could write it. So I
came up with eight conditions that
170
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:44,319
came up with eight conditions that
171
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,229
came up with eight conditions that
needed to be met for someone to be the
172
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:46,239
needed to be met for someone to be the
173
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:48,630
needed to be met for someone to be the
author. The conditions are one,
174
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:48,640
author. The conditions are one,
175
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,710
author. The conditions are one,
obviously the author must have lived in
176
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:50,720
obviously the author must have lived in
177
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,509
obviously the author must have lived in
the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas
178
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:53,519
the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas
179
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:55,350
the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas
was written in four languages. So the
180
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:55,360
was written in four languages. So the
181
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,750
was written in four languages. So the
author had to know all four of them.
182
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:57,760
author had to know all four of them.
183
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,110
author had to know all four of them.
Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three,
184
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:01,120
Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three,
185
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,910
Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three,
the person had to be rich. Why? Well,
186
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:03,920
the person had to be rich. Why? Well,
187
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,589
the person had to be rich. Why? Well,
the book is supposed to have been
188
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:05,599
the book is supposed to have been
189
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,589
the book is supposed to have been
written by priests in a monastery in the
190
00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:07,599
written by priests in a monastery in the
191
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:10,229
written by priests in a monastery in the
Czech Republic. But the parchment for
192
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:10,239
Czech Republic. But the parchment for
193
00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:12,470
Czech Republic. But the parchment for
the pages alone would have required the
194
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:12,480
the pages alone would have required the
195
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,270
the pages alone would have required the
swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then,
196
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:15,280
swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then,
197
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,749
swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then,
a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of
198
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:17,759
a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of
199
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:20,390
a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of
a villager. So only someone very rich
200
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:20,400
a villager. So only someone very rich
201
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,469
a villager. So only someone very rich
could have had the resources to back
202
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:22,479
could have had the resources to back
203
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,150
could have had the resources to back
this initiative. Look at the
204
00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:24,160
this initiative. Look at the
205
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,390
this initiative. Look at the
illustrations. In medieval times, even
206
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:26,400
illustrations. In medieval times, even
207
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,629
illustrations. In medieval times, even
the most noble scribes used black and
208
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:28,639
the most noble scribes used black and
209
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,710
the most noble scribes used black and
red ink because they were the cheapest.
210
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:30,720
red ink because they were the cheapest.
211
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,749
red ink because they were the cheapest.
And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this
212
00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:33,759
And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this
213
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,230
And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this
book is adorned in blue. Do you know how
214
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:36,240
book is adorned in blue. Do you know how
215
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,469
book is adorned in blue. Do you know how
expensive blue dye was back then? The
216
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:38,479
expensive blue dye was back then? The
217
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:40,390
expensive blue dye was back then? The
amount of blue used for illustrations
218
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:40,400
amount of blue used for illustrations
219
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,629
amount of blue used for illustrations
alone could have bought you a large farm
220
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:42,639
alone could have bought you a large farm
221
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:45,110
alone could have bought you a large farm
with a few servants. Four, the writer
222
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:45,120
with a few servants. Four, the writer
223
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,749
with a few servants. Four, the writer
must have been highly educated. Whoever
224
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:47,759
must have been highly educated. Whoever
225
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,070
must have been highly educated. Whoever
wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very
226
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:50,080
wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very
227
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,950
wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very
well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd
228
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:52,960
well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd
229
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,870
well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd
read thousands of books and they'd
230
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:54,880
read thousands of books and they'd
231
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,510
read thousands of books and they'd
written books already. This was the work
232
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:57,520
written books already. This was the work
233
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,670
written books already. This was the work
of a professional. Because of all the
234
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:59,680
of a professional. Because of all the
235
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,510
of a professional. Because of all the
intricate illustrations inside, the
236
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:01,520
intricate illustrations inside, the
237
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,830
intricate illustrations inside, the
writer must have been a painter. Six.
238
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:03,840
writer must have been a painter. Six.
239
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,510

00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:05,520
The book includes the New and Old

00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,430
The book includes the New and Old
Testament along with incantations and

00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,310
Testament along with incantations and
alchemical practices. The author was not

00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:10,320
alchemical practices. The author was not
245
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,550
alchemical practices. The author was not
only a Christian priest or scribe, he
246
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:12,560
only a Christian priest or scribe, he
247
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,029
only a Christian priest or scribe, he
was also initiated in the occult.

was also initiated in the occult.
Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman
250
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:17,759
Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman
251
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:19,830
Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman
Empire, perhaps in Germany or Czech

Empire, perhaps in Germany or Czech

00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:22,240
Republic. Eight. Last but most
255
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,950
Republic. Eight. Last but most
important, the writer didn't show any
256
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:24,960
important, the writer didn't show any
257
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,990
important, the writer didn't show any
signs of aging. That's why many believe
258
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:28,000
signs of aging. That's why many believe
259
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,990
signs of aging. That's why many believe
the initial story that Herman wrote
260
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:30,000
the initial story that Herman wrote
261
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,110
the initial story that Herman wrote
Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's
262
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:33,120
Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's
263
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,310
Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's
impossible. So I have another theory. In
264
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:36,320
impossible. So I have another theory. In
265
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,070
impossible. So I have another theory. In
medieval Europe, there were many many
266
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:38,080
medieval Europe, there were many many
267
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,670
medieval Europe, there were many many
alchemists.
268
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:39,680
alchemists.
269
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,749
alchemists.
Some of them were very close to the
270
00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:41,759
Some of them were very close to the
271
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,469
Some of them were very close to the
creation of the philosopher stone. And
272
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:44,479
creation of the philosopher stone. And
273
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:46,469
creation of the philosopher stone. And
we know the philosopher stone prolongs
274
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:46,479
we know the philosopher stone prolongs
275
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:49,350
we know the philosopher stone prolongs
longevity, transmutes metals into gold.
276
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:49,360
longevity, transmutes metals into gold.
277
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,749
longevity, transmutes metals into gold.
And according to some, it could even
278
00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:51,759
And according to some, it could even
279
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,870
And according to some, it could even
bring eternal life. Could our author
280
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:54,880
bring eternal life. Could our author
281
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,350
bring eternal life. Could our author
have been an alchemist? Whoever he was,
282
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:57,360
have been an alchemist? Whoever he was,
283
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,590
have been an alchemist? Whoever he was,
he didn't necessarily need the
284
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:59,600
he didn't necessarily need the
285
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,430
he didn't necessarily need the
philosopher stone. There's another
286
00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:01,440
philosopher stone. There's another
287
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,270
philosopher stone. There's another
alchemical substance that allows
288
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:03,280
alchemical substance that allows
289
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,270
alchemical substance that allows
longevity. I have covered it in a
290
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:05,280
longevity. I have covered it in a
291
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,550
longevity. I have covered it in a
previous video. It's called Ans Melissa.
292
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:08,560
previous video. It's called Ans Melissa.

previous video. It's called Ans Melissa.
Many will say that writing the book in
294
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:10,639
Many will say that writing the book in
295
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,629
Many will say that writing the book in
just one day seems more plausible than
296
00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:12,639
just one day seems more plausible than
297
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,550
just one day seems more plausible than
alchemy being real. But have this in
298
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:14,560
alchemy being real. But have this in
299
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,189
alchemy being real. But have this in
mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we
300
00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:17,199
mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we
301
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,150
mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we
have today comes from alchemy. Every
302
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:20,160
have today comes from alchemy. Every
303
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,309
have today comes from alchemy. Every
single chemical reaction we know
304
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:22,319
single chemical reaction we know
305
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,230
single chemical reaction we know
alchemists have studied. In every
306
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:24,240
alchemists have studied. In every
307
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,230
alchemists have studied. In every
village in Europe when people were sick
308
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:26,240
village in Europe when people were sick
309
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,230
village in Europe when people were sick
they went to the alchemist for help. Now
310
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:28,240
they went to the alchemist for help. Now
311
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,469
they went to the alchemist for help. Now
you know the conditions. Let's see how
312
00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:30,479
you know the conditions. Let's see how
313
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:32,150
you know the conditions. Let's see how
many of the people from the list have
314
00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:32,160
many of the people from the list have
315
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,070
many of the people from the list have
lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the
316
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:34,080
lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the
317
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,029
lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the
1200s, knew four languages, were a
318
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:37,039
1200s, knew four languages, were a
319
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:39,590
1200s, knew four languages, were a
priest with a formal education, had
320
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:39,600
priest with a formal education, had
321
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,230
priest with a formal education, had
written books before, could paint, had
322
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:42,240
written books before, could paint, had
323
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,790
written books before, could paint, had
the means to write such a book, and were
324
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:44,800
the means to write such a book, and were
325
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,510
the means to write such a book, and were
also an alchemist. Well, obviously not
326
00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:47,520
also an alchemist. Well, obviously not
327
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,309
also an alchemist. Well, obviously not

00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:25,280
Germany's royal court. That's very close
357
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,589
Germany's royal court. That's very close

00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,189
So we can also safely check theology and
priesthood too. Did I mention that he

00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:29,199
priesthood too. Did I mention that he
409
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:31,749
priesthood too. Did I mention that he
was a true alchemist as well? In his

left to check. Was he a great painter?
425
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,990

Yeah. Had he written books before? Well,
427
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,150

not only had Alberto's Magnus written
429
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,030
not only had Alberto's Magnus written
previous books, but I've also read
430
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:55,040
previous books, but I've also read
431
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,030
previous books, but I've also read
several of them because I was interested
432
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:57,040
several of them because I was interested
433
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,910
several of them because I was interested
in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages
434
00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:59,920
in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages
435
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,230
in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages
that I have and see if the formatting
436
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:02,240
that I have and see if the formatting
437
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,070
that I have and see if the formatting
and writing style match.
438
00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:06,080
and writing style match.
439
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,790
and writing style match.

00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,190
Notice the blue used for the capital
letters. Isn't that the exact same blue
444
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:13,200
letters. Isn't that the exact same blue
445
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,190
letters. Isn't that the exact same blue
used in the decorations of the Devil's

00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:31,519
Look at the formatting and the letters.
453
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:34,230
Look at the formatting and the letters.
Here's another one of his books. We can
454
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:34,240
Here's another one of his books. We can
455
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,870
Here's another one of his books. We can
see his script varies per book, but some
456
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:36,880
see his script varies per book, but some
457
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,110
see his script varies per book, but some
of the letters look quite close to me to
458
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:39,120
of the letters look quite close to me to
459
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,350
of the letters look quite close to me to
what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at
460
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:41,360
what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at
461
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,910
what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at
the illustrations in the text of Magnus
462
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:43,920
the illustrations in the text of Magnus
463
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,829
the illustrations in the text of Magnus
book. They are of the highest level
464
00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:45,839
book. They are of the highest level
465
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:47,590
book. They are of the highest level
indeed. I looked through hundreds of his
466
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:47,600
indeed. I looked through hundreds of his
467
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,949
indeed. I looked through hundreds of his
pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script
468
00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:50,959
pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script
469
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:52,949
pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script
all throughout. That combined with the
470

all throughout. That combined with the
471
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:55,190
all throughout. That combined with the
eight criteria he matches gives us
472
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:55,200
eight criteria he matches gives us
473
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,509
eight criteria he matches gives us
plenty of reason to believe he might
474
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:57,519
plenty of reason to believe he might
475
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,590
plenty of reason to believe he might
have been the one to write the Codex
476
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:59,600
have been the one to write the Codex
477
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,630
have been the one to write the Codex
Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really
478
00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:02,640
Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really
479
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,030
Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really
wrote the devil's Bible, then why does
480
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:05,040
wrote the devil's Bible, then why does
481
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,509
wrote the devil's Bible, then why does
the original legend site a sinful priest

the original legend site a sinful priest
483
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:10,230
the original legend site a sinful priest
named Herman being the author? I looked
484
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:10,240
named Herman being the author? I looked
485
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,070
named Herman being the author? I looked
deeper into that and found out that
486
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:12,080
deeper into that and found out that
487
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,470
deeper into that and found out that
Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother
488
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:14,480
Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother
489
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,870
Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother
called Henry. Henry followed in the

00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,030
called Henry. Henry followed in the
footsteps of his older brother. It too
492
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:19,040
footsteps of his older brother. It too
493
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,630
footsteps of his older brother. It too
was a priest, but much less prominent
494
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:22,640
was a priest, but much less prominent
495
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,870
was a priest, but much less prominent
and not nearly as smart or well
496
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:24,880
and not nearly as smart or well
497
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,430
and not nearly as smart or well
educated. Henry wanted to step out of
498
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:27,440
educated. Henry wanted to step out of
499
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,990
educated. Henry wanted to step out of
his brother's shadow. He traveled to
500
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:30,000
his brother's shadow. He traveled to
501
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,310
his brother's shadow. He traveled to
Bohemia where he went into a monastery
502
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:32,320
Bohemia where he went into a monastery
503
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,630
Bohemia where he went into a monastery
and changed his name. In the legend, the
504
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:34,640
and changed his name. In the legend, the
505
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,389
and changed his name. In the legend, the
name of the priest who wrote the book
506
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:36,399
name of the priest who wrote the book
507
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:39,350
name of the priest who wrote the book
was Herman. I connected the dots here
508
00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:39,360
was Herman. I connected the dots here
509
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,470
was Herman. I connected the dots here
when I found out that Henry and Hermon
510
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:42,480
when I found out that Henry and Hermon
511
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,590
when I found out that Henry and Hermon
are practically the same name. It's not
512
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:45,600
are practically the same name. It's not
513
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,350
are practically the same name. It's not
uncommon for people to change their
514
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:47,360
uncommon for people to change their
515
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,750
uncommon for people to change their
names when they go into a monastery. It
516
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:49,760
names when they go into a monastery. It
517
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,389
names when they go into a monastery. It
turns out both names Herman and Henry
518
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:52,399
turns out both names Herman and Henry
519
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,190
turns out both names Herman and Henry
come from ancient Germanic roots and
520
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:55,200
come from ancient Germanic roots and
521
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,590
come from ancient Germanic roots and
they mean rich warrior or part of the
522
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:57,600
they mean rich warrior or part of the
523
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,870
they mean rich warrior or part of the
army. My theory is that Herman, who
524
00:11:00,870 --> 00:11:00,880
army. My theory is that Herman, who
525
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,870
army. My theory is that Herman, who

Henry are the same person. Henry was a

for long and sinned. As he was about to
537
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,030
for long and sinned. As he was about to
get punished, he felt trapped and wrote

get punished, he felt trapped and wrote
539
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,110
get punished, he felt trapped and wrote
a letter to his brother for help.

five empty pages that he had to write

00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:47,760
five empty pages that he had to write
561
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,150
five empty pages that he had to write
during that night. the ones confessing

00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:50,160
during that night. the ones confessing
563
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,389
during that night. the ones confessing
to his crimes. That would make
564
00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:52,399
to his crimes. That would make
565
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,389
to his crimes. That would make
everything authentic and everyone would

00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:54,399
everything authentic and everyone would
567
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:57,269
everything authentic and everyone would
believe them. That's why there are five

00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:57,279
believe them. That's why there are five
569
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:58,949
believe them. That's why there are five
pages in the book that are different.

pages in the book that are different.
571
00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:01,190
pages in the book that are different.
There are five pages with distinctive

There are five pages with distinctive

There are five pages with distinctive

all capitalized font. And these five
pages are obviously written by someone
576
00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:06,399
pages are obviously written by someone
577
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,550
pages are obviously written by someone
less versed than the original author. We

less versed than the original author. We
579
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,350
less versed than the original author. We
can see it. Alberta's Magnus probably

00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:11,360
can see it. Alberta's Magnus probably
581
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,350
can see it. Alberta's Magnus probably
gave away his life's work to the

00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:13,360
gave away his life's work to the

00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,190
the most expensive possessions these
poor monks had, and eventually they were
