Description: The CODEX Seraphinianus A work of fantastical imagery. Reminiscent of Escher, this is easily one of the strangest books ever published, THE CODEX SERAPHINIANUS is written entirely in a mysterious and an undeciphered language. However, the numerous illustrations provide insights into the flora, fauna, inhabitants, and society of a non-existent world. These fantastic and whimsical drawings show skeletons being reassembled into people, fish that resemble eyes, a man and woman copulating and slowly turning into an alligator, the animals that make up a rainbow, and other wonderfully weird examples of an alien reality. The author, an Italian artist, has never spoken about the origins of the book or the meaning of his language. Lucky readers who stumble upon Serafini's rare oddity will find themselves confronted with a wealth of amazing nonsense.- Abbeville Press Publishers- 1983, First American Edition- Written and Illustrated by Luigi Serafini- Near Fine Condition.
