The Codex Seraphinianus,[1] originally published in 1981, is an illustrated encyclopedia of an imaginary world, created by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini between 1976 and 1978.[2] It is approximately 360 pages (depending on edition) and written in an imaginary language.[3]
Originally published in Italy, it has been released in several countries.[3]
^as it were "the book (or manuscript) of Serafini";
the Latin noun codex referred to a book with pages (as opposed to a scroll), and is often applied in modern usage to a manuscript with pages, especially an antiquarian one. Seraphinianus is a Latinisation of the author's surname, Serafini (which in Italian, refers to the seraphs).
