An Introduction to the Codex Seraphinianus, the Strangest Book Ever Published
Summary
The Open Culture article presents the Codex Seraphinianus as a highly symbolic, unreadable encyclopedia-like book. It situates the work alongside the Voynich Manuscript, notes Luigi Serafini's claim that the invented script has no fixed meaning, and describes how the book has inspired a global online community and collector interest. It also mentions a recent affordable edition and the high prices fetched by first editions.
