Hardcover. Condition: New. It was while he was sketching hybridized human bodies whose limbs took the form of everyday objects - a bicycle wheel, or a fountain pen - that Luigi Serafini realized that adding something resembling a caption would give his work the appearance of a page from an encyclopedia. He spent the next four years building on the idea, developing an imaginary writing system and creating illustrations using coloured pencils to describe a fantastical world, populating it with bizarre creatures and machines, adding a sense of its history, and presenting examples of its food, fashion and architecture. While attempts have been made to interpret its 'words', the author has stated that his intention was to recreate in adults a feeling of illiteracy, hoping that 'perhaps unintelligible and alien writing could make us all free to once again experience those hazy childhood sensations' in which meaning is assigned by the imagination. One of 978 numbered copies released for the book's 40th anniversary, this edition is presented in a cloth slipcase and includes a signed print inspired by either Dante or Ovid (selected at random during shipping).

"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 timelier than ever. A special limited and numbered deluxe edition that includes a signed print was also available" the publisher.
