I have a hard time believing this. There's lots of pictures of the devil (why do you capitalize devil? and devils bible?) from the middle ages.

As far as the satanic bible by LaVey, I actually had the (dis)pleasure of reading it, and it's just nonsensical. Seriously, I try to be as open minded as I can, but that thing is just a collection of myths/names of gods from different religions, a total mix that is not internally cohesive (which can be said about many sacred texts, but this one takes the prize).

Yeah, LaVey was a quack who made up a religion, along with his friends Gardener (Wicca), Hubbard (Scientology), and Crowley (his own satanism). They were just out to fornicate and spook the Christian establishment.
