BOOK POST: Codex Seraphinianus reprint

Justin Meisse

Kind of a modern day Voynich Manuscript, the Codex Seraphinianus is getting a reprint on Oct. 29th. I only found out about this book in the last few months but I love weird stuff, maybe it's a mutation from too much Escher & Dali exposure as a child.

The price isn't too shabby either:

I think it would be fun to interpret some of these illustrations in 3D

The Voynich manuscript has always been a favourite mystery of mine, so I'm surprised I'd never heard of this. Looks fascinating. I'll have to pick it up eventually.

Still, having it be from the not-so-distant past sort of removes much of the mystery, so I'm assuming Voynich will remain the favourite; but this seems much much more accessible.

Thanks for posting about it!
