  • ""An extraordinary and surreal art book, this edition has been redesigned by the author and includes new illustrations. Ever since the Codex Seraphinianus was first published in 1981, the book has been recognized as one of the strangest and most beautiful art books ever made. This visual encyclopedia of an unknown world written in an unknown language has fueled much debate over its meaning. Written for the information age and addressing the import of coding and decoding in genetics, literary criticism, and computer science, the Codex confused, fascinated, and enchanted a generation. While its message may be unclear, its appeal is obvious: it is a most exquisite artifact. Blurring the distinction between art book and art object, this anniversary edition-redesigned by the author and featuring new illustrations-presents this unique work in a new, unparalleled light. With the advent of new media and forms of communication and continuous streams of information, the Codex is now more relevant and timely than ever." --"
  • ""Encyclopédie imaginaire écrite dans une langue inventée, cet ouvrage a été exécuté par un enlumineur de notre temps, dans une petite chambre à Rome, entre 1976 et 1978. Le premier volume est consacré aux sciences de la nature (anatomie, zoologie, tératologie, chimie, physique et mécanique) et le deuxième traite des sciences humaines (anatomie, ethnologie, anthropologie, mythologie, linguistique, cuisine, jeux, mode et architecture). L'oeil sur les sections de cet ouvrage, le lecteur aura peut-être le sentiment d'écouter la musique sans parole du Savoir, dit l'éditeur. Dans les planches du "Codex Seraphinianus", un monde et une culture se reflètent, à la fois semblables et dissemblables des nôtres, telles les voix diverses d'une même déclinaison."
