Looking for old post on made-up flora and fauna
March 7, 2009 5:28 PM   Subscribe

A couple of years ago I saw a post that presented a book that someone wrote and illustrated that had a whole fantastical world's flora and fauna (I think) like a catalog... as I recall it was written in a completely made-up language, but absolutely amazingly detailed. I've searched everything I could think of (illustration, encyclopedia, animals, fantasy, etc.) but can't remember what it was called or who wrote it. Help please!

Could it be the Voynich manuscript?

Codex Seraphinianus

That has to be the Codex Seraphinianus, it is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to hear from anyone who actually took the time to figure out if the codex is crackable...

I vote for the Voynich manuscript.
