Codex Seraphinianus

For the person who has read the strange novels and still wants a book that refuses to explain itself.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

Luigi Serafini's encyclopedia of an invented world, written in a script nobody can read, with diagrams of creatures that do not exist.

Three reasons

  1. It is a real encyclopedia of a place that is not real.
  2. The script is not a puzzle with a solution. The point is the feeling of looking before you can read.
  3. The link is the Rizzoli hardcover, the one with the red ring of creatures on the cover.
