Codex Seraphinianus on Flickr…
Posted by nickpelling on Jun 18th, 2008
If you haven’t seen Luigi Serafini’s Codex Seraphinianus before, I heartily recommend stomping over to this 230-photo Flickr set and checking it out.
It’s now reasonably well-known that the book’s strange page-numbering system has been cracked (it’s a funny kind of base-21 counting, with various unlucky numbers removed), but the text itself remains enigmatic. Ivan Derzhanski has posted some observations here, but I think it’s fair to say nobody yet has the foggiest idea how to go about trying to read it. Oh well!
Incidentally, there’s even a ballet based on it!

Note: I don’t normally allow ads in, but a signed two-volume set of the Codex Seraphinianus 1981 edition is a pretty rare thing.

Good for you, Akit – and good for the collector who bought the set too, I think.
(And no, it wasn’t me!)
