Reddit reviews Codex Seraphinianus

The album forgot to mention why is was created.

The artist remembered being a little kid, before knowing how to read, and wanted to recreate the feeling of looking at an encyclopedia for the first time. Seeing all of the pictures and charts and diagrams, knowing they mean something but not what that something is.

Edit: You can get the book here. It's hardcover, and also an art piece, so don't be too surprised by the price.

It's actually being reprinted later this year by Rizzoli. It is on Amazon for pre-order at $75... this is the price that the Abbeville edition was back in the mid-80s.

Huh, there's a new edition being released in under a month...

Something else came to my mind. I own this book, it's like a pseudo-science encyclopedia from a different world with drawings that make no sense and stuff you can't read. it's awesome.

Amazon says the release date is October 29.

Interestingly, they are doing release-date delivery for the Codex as well as the Autechre and Boards of Canada vinyl pre-releases I put in the same order. Amazon used to only do release-date delivery for video games.

Oh, sorry for being vague. The edition pictured has a black cover, released in the early 80s in Italy and eventually the US and is a collectors item (expensive), think it was in two volumes as well. In 2006 they reprinted it, it has a small pamphlet about the author in Italian but translations can be found online. It's not hand drawn or handwritten but it's printed really well so it looks like it. THICK art paper with rugged edges is used, and the ink quality is very nice. The one I have is the 2006 edition 2010 reprint. Here's the Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Codex-Seraphinianus-Luigi-Serafini/dp/0847842134/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381961533&sr=8-1&keywords=codex+seraphinianus
EDIT: Sorry, just checked ,edges are not rugged, still a beautiful, weird book nonetheless. And it comes as a single volume just to clarify.

It is beautiful. Not a cheap copy and big

Codex Seraphinianus is now back in print, my wife bought it for me for my anniversary in January.

The post is dated 2013, so the book is already available.

Just ordered my copy of the new edition of The Codex Seraphinianus, can't imagine how bad it would make the Tin-foilers freak out if they saw it.

My wife bought me a hardcover copy of the Rizzoli printing of The Code Seraphinius. (This one I think: http://www.amazon.com/Codex-Seraphinianus-Luigi-Serafini/dp/0847842134) It's incredible. The printing, binding, and feel of the book is stunning. I have spent many hours flipping through it already.

Oh wow - it's being reprinted!!

New edition available in late oct.

A re-released version is available soon on Amazon as the author is apparently still alive.

I don't know if it's really what you're looking for, but I've been interested in getting the Codex Seraphinianus sometime. Not your typical "story" or anything but it certainly would be interesting to run through.

It is believed that the artist (or author, depending on how you classify the piece) was inspired by memories of his childhood of him paging through an encyclopedia before he was able to read. This work is created to replicate that feeling of awe and wonder produced by his experience. The early editions of the book have been sold for thousands of dollars. Attached is an imgur link with additional pictures of the book with descriptions of the believed chapter subjects as well as an Amazon link to purchase the book yourself:

I don't have a specific one but my interest started as a kid when I had a fascination with old maps. You know how they would have little sea monsters sketched in the oceans? I think what I like so much is the imagery.

I've always wanted to page through the Codex Seraphinianus it's my lazy quest to find it in a dusty corner of a used book shop.
