Codex Seraphinianus, 1976-1978

‘The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini, from 1976 to 1978. The book appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an alphabetic writing intended to be meaningless.’

A couple friends of mine have copies of this (I was just looking at the copy at Strand), but it’s always been too pricy for my blood. If you get a chance to see one in person, do it.

I’d forgotten about this.  I once gave a copy to a couple of bibliophile friends when they married.  One of the most rewarding gifts I ever gave. I’ll always treasure being told that it had instantly become “one” of the weirdest books in their collection.  They have, it must be said, a very weird collection.

this book delights and terrifies me.

i own this book and it gives me the fucking willies
