СЕРАФИНСКИЙ КОДЕКС - жемчужина богатого мира замысловатых существ и странных явлений, который простирается от «Естественной истории» Плиния и «О природе вещей» Лукреция до «Энциклопедии» Дидро и д'Аламбера.

An extraordinary and surreal art book, this edition has been redesigned by the author and includes new illustrations.

Written for the information age and addressing the import of coding and decoding in genetics, literary criticism, and computer science, the Codex confused, fascinated, and enchanted a generation.

With the advent of new media and forms of communication and continuous streams of information, the Codex is now more relevant and timely than ever.
