Vision is considered the most trustworthy mode of perception, but even here what one is allowed to see is what lends itself to ordered description. As Foucault puts it, in The Order of Things, "Observation, from the seventeenth century onward, is a perceptible knowledge furnished with a series of systematically negative conditions,"10 conditions which excluded certain sense data as too amorphous to be reliable. When scientific classification took shape in the seventeenth century, it was through deliberately limiting the range of perception. But the final act of seeing performed by the encyclopedia is its text. The encyclopedia is already selective in the things that it has chosen to be worthy of seeing it becomes more so in the ways it chooses to represent visually phenomena that are always more complex than their depiction on the page. The text of an ordinary encyclopedia is intended to explicate the things that have been ordered into a system, and while doing so to remove any equivocation in the illustrations through an interpretive commentary that is what the text contributes to the overall encyclopedic project of "seeing things." This seeing, however, is accomplished by a selective blindness, a focus attained by filtering out. That way the books may hold up to more wear and tear with younger children.To assert that the text of the Codex Seraphinianus is equivocal is also to say this of the things depicted therein, the ordered images of a utopia, of a not-place.
