Checking it, I have found a message on linguistlist (2000) which
adds some more similar and possibly interesting items in English:

From: Humphrey Tonkin <tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You are, I am sure, aware of Paolo Albani and Berlinghiero Buonarroti's
Aga Magera Difura: dizionario delle lingue immaginarie (Bologna:
Zanichelli, 1994).  Also Marina Yaguello, "Lunatic Lovers of Language:
Imaginary Languages and Their Inventors" (London: Athlone Press, 1991).
See also Michel Pierssens, "The Power of Babel: A Study of Logophilia"
(London: Routledge, 1980).  P.Cornelius, "Languages in 17th and Early
18th-Century Imaginary Voyages" (Geneva: Droz, 1965) is helpful on this
aspect of the subject.

Best regards,

Rafal
