Codex Seraphinianus Enigmatic Illustrated Journey

The Codex Seraphinianus, which received a facelift from Serafini in 2013, is divided into 11 chapters that explore a strange world split into nature and people. Some believe it may be inspired by the mysterious Voynich manuscript, with its 400 pages of enigmatic illustrations and accompanying unknown language. Despite its intriguing nature, decoding the Codex Seraphinianus has proven to be a futile endeavor for many.

With a 2013 facelift courtesy of Serafini himself, the Codex Seraphinianus still contains 11 chapters that divide its bizarro world into two parts: nature and people. Speculated to be an homage to or copy of the undecipherable Voynich manuscript, this nearly 400-page book features illustrations that are just as inexplicable as the unknown language that accompanies them. While oddly captivating, attempting to decipher and understand the Codex Seraphinianus has long been an exercise in futility. First published in 1981, it took Italian architect, illustrator, and industrial designer Luigi Serafini 2-1/2 years to complete. In my opinion, the greatest implication and warning we can take away from the Codex Seraphinianus is this: be careful who you get it on with because there is a good chance that the two of you will turn into an alligator post-coitus. Known as possibly the Most Interesting Coffee Table Book in the World, the Codex Seraphinianus remains a radical and unparalleled work of art.
