The Codex Seraphinianus
‘The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini, from 1976 to 1978. The book appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an alphabetic writing intended to be meaningless.’

I love that kind of stuff. All those mysterious codexes (sp) and manuscripts are enticing.
I always imagine how I would have responded if I got handed one of these as a kid. I would still be in the mental house trying to decipher it all.
Very cool.
