First American Edition.
Editorial Reviews for this title:
Synopsis: 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.
Luigi Serafini (born in Rome, 1949) is an Italian artist and designer. He is best known for creating the Codex Seraphinianus, an illustrated encyclopedia of imaginary things in what is believed to be a constructed language.

评分 评分 评分文/韩志 这是筹备“未读”所有选题时,反复追问自己的一个问题。有时不到一分钟就能得出答案,有时却要把自己逼疯。因为连续很多天,都要在不同的时刻掷硬币,永远只有两面:做,或者不做。等你做决定。 《塞拉菲尼抄本》就是差点把我逼成神经病的一本书。如果你已经知道这...
评分我27岁的时候,曾用彩色铅笔在一页纸上画过一幅画,画中的几具人体都有着钳子、自行车轱辘和自来水笔形的肢体,仿佛当时我正在一所太空美术学院里上一堂以裸体半机械人为对象的写生课。我按照几乎是分类学的标准画草图,直到某一刻我发现,要完成这幅图好像还得配上一些文字,...
翻了翻了电子书库存发现这本,好奇的打开看了下。惊叹,怎么会有这么奇奇怪怪的书,还那么贵。有些脑洞很好玩,但是更多的内容让人摸不着头脑,文字又很费解,对读者不友好啊。可能作者创作的时候很爽吧。
