Unfortunately there are no english translations of the complete work. The Swedish library is being a bit of a dick about the whole book and there is only about 3 people who are even allowed near it.

Anyway. There is a lot of information in this book:

Boldan, Kamil; Michal Dragoun; Duan Foltýn; Jindřich Marek; Zdeněk Uhlíř (2007). The Devil's Bible - Codex Gigas. The Secrets of the World's Largest Book.
ISBN 978-80-7050-532-8.

National Geographic also did a documentary about the book

And here you can browse most of it:

And here is a short article that has been translated into english:
