    About this product

    Product Information

    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. A special limited and numbered deluxe edition that includes a signed print is also available.

      • Beautiful mystery

        This is a wow of a book. Indecipherable hieroglyphics, beautiful illustrations, lovely cover and binding and an intriguing book to handle and "read" . Not aimed at children but my 11 year old granddaughter was so captivated by it that I bought her a copy. A lovely book, a lovely object.

      • It's not in English but still a great book

        If this book came in English at some stage, I'll buy that too. The pictures are amazing and a lot of them make sense to me but I live outside the square :D

      • Important book for the modern philosophy and art

        This is an important book for artists, designers, children and philosophers. Its a mind openning about language and perception. I really like it.
