Subject
The topic of the resource
The Codex Seraphinianus is a one-of-a-kind surreal art book. The encyclopedia includes bizarre illustrations and an unknown language that is impossible to interpret to the average reader. Codex Seraphinianus carries a reputation as being the world’s weirdest book because the content is truly a masterpiece of both grotesque yet beautifully hand-drawn illustrations. Each page and each illustration draws in the viewer and really encourages him or her to study the meaning behind the imagery—if there is one. Another interesting point about this book is that there have been several articles and blogs contemplating the meaning of Codex Seraphinianus, but there has not been a set answer for the reason or creation of this book, so it is left up to the reader to decode the book’s message individually.
