		Imaginary worlds are as old as the human imagination itself and will be with us for as long as imagination lasts, despite their currently rather devalued reputation as staples of bad science fiction and fantasy.
		Luigi Serafini takes the whole game a very difficult step further, by creating a complete work which describes his own fictional world in detail, with numerous colour illustrations and the whole written in a completely invented language and alphabet.
		Serafini has sections on physics, chemistry, mineralogy (including many drawings of elaborate gems), geography, botany, zoology, sociology, linguistics, technology, architecture, sports (of all sorts), clothing, and so on.

		It should also be noted that Serafini and Borges' worlds serve purposes beyond simply existing, they act as part of the larger goal.
		Serafini uses the world to examine our own, and how we classify existing objects.
		Borges' uses the world of Tlon to show that an invented world is easier to understand than our existing one, no matter how "alien" it may be, as it would come from a human author or authors.

		The fantastic universe of Serafini in its encyclopaedia "Codex Seraphinianus" at Franco Maria Ricci Editor gives us several representations of men here and animals strange, unreal, with getup indescribable, fanstastic, but which do not frighten.

		The human figure is made up of as many faces than the wind vane on the head offers prospects for directions.

		"It is the Codex Seraphinianus, perpetrated by Luigi Serafini in 1981 and since published in a number of different countries.
		I cannot say "translated into a number of different languages" since the text is written in a wholly imaginary language, which must remain untranslatable.
		Imaginary as well is the world depicted in the lavish illustrations — not just the cities, dress, and customs of beings which are themselves bizarre variations on the human theme, but flora and fauna, and "natural elements" that are utterly foreign to us.

	Stone Cold Pimpin'
		Fans of surrealism, fantasy, and late '70s European illustration should find much to groove on in Luigi Serafini's Codex Seraphinianus, a 400-page imaginary encyclopedia of a world similar to ours populated by bizarre creatures.
		Serafini has a site, but it's under construction.
		And apparently Serafini is just updating the original "mysterious" work, the Voynich Manuscript.

		Decouflé's speciality is eye-teasing spectacle, something after the fashion of Alwin Nikolais's offerings 30 years ago, but bare of movement save of the most simple-minded kind.
		The argument for Tricodex proposes a cabinet of curiosities inspired by the artist and naturalist Luigi Serafini, who published a "visual encyclopedia of an imaginary universe" in 1981.
		Serafini's caprices have given Decouflé the starting point for the capers and laboured japes that are the tasks for his performers.

		If Borges’ story sparked the creation of the book (and it’s a good bet that this was the case), Serafini’s pictures, in style and content, seem to owe much to the cartoons and drawings of another master of baroque European fantasy, Roland Topor.
		Topor was an equally polymathic figure—cartoonist, writer, film maker—who still seems better known in his native France than elsewhere.
		Topor and Serafini share a certain naïve draughtsmanship which nonetheless is in the service of an enthusiastic and deliberately Surrealist (in the original sense of the term) level of invention.

	One of the great mysteries of all time, the 'Codex Seraphinianus' is finally broken !
		After a careful study of the phenomena known as the Codex Seraphinianus I have discovered the 'Jewel hidden in plain sight' and deciphered the other rosetta stone - the one that was contained inside an image known as the Matrix.
		The Italian artist Luigi Serafini produced a richly illustrated book called the Codex Seraphinianus in the late 1970's.
		Don Luigi chose to express alien ideas inside surreal artistic images that were his deciphering of the thoughts and ideas pressed upon him by the aliens; whether in dreams or a dreamlike state of consciousness only he can choose to say.

		It's divided into a number of sections (each with its own table of contents) on subjects such as plants, animals, inhabitants, machines, clothing, and architecture.
		After only a glance it becomes apparent that Serafini was not attempting to create a consistent alternate world.
		A lot of the odd effect comes from parallelism between illustrations on a page -- Serafini plays with our desire to find patterns by providing just enough consistency to draw us into looking for an internal logic where there is none.

		Serafini's evocative encyclopedia has inspired Decouflé throughout his career, and it continues to feed his imagination with Tricodex, the culmination of his infatuation with Serafini.

		In the beginning, after the curtain went up, darkness covered the stage and then, behold, light—ingenious lighting that made a bed of sea anemones not only fluoresce but also helped them undulate so convincingly that the cast seemed to consist not of dancers but specimens.
		Decoufle gradually gathered an astonishing number of species into his arc—frogmen with flippers instead of ballet slippers, a spider with pointe shoes on her hands as well as feet, octopuses, hen, camel, unicorns plus others from a book of beasts by the artist and naturalist Luigi Serafini.
		Translating Serafini's imaginary encyclopedia onto the stage was made possible by 25 dancers, about 75 movement tricks (my estimate), and 150 seductive yet dehumanizing costumes.

	Where is Luigi Serafini? - Seraphinians - tribe.net
		Now I realize that the Codex Seraphinianus, whatever else it may turn out to be when and if the text is translated into anything meaningful, is one of the greatest works of graphic art of the last 100 years and without peer in terms of an artistic representation of a created or alternate world.
		It would also seem apparent that Serafini is not at all anxious to put himself forward at all, certainly not in any respect having to do with elucidating the many questions that we all have regarding the Codex.
		Frank, thanks for the insite into a fantastic book of art; so I go read the Burroughs' book of Breathing which gives me to ponder the Luigi frame of it in text.
