An Encylocpedia to an Alternate World with Indecipherable Text
First published in 1981, the Codex Seraphinianus by Luigi Serafini is a window into a strange world. Essentially an encyclopedia about a society which reflects our own, each chapter deals with key facets of this surreal world, including flora, fauna, science, and architecture. With indecipherable text and illustrations bordering on the disturbing, many–including philosophers, codebreakers, and academics–have tried to decipher the text and classify the book, but most have come up short.
