correction: Saul Sosnowski’s book is Borges y la Cabala: la busqueda del Verbo (Borges and the Kabbalah: the search for the Word). As far as I know, it has not been translated.

Gabor and others: as far as I know, the unique art book by Mirta Kupferminc has a coauthor, Saul Sosnowski, who is also Argetinian, profesor at the Univ. of Maryland for many years, and who has composed accompanying poems that allude to the Kabbalah and to Borges, as a dialogue between artwork and text. Kupfermic had read and was inspired not only by Borges (“The Aleph” is the title you allude to) but by, among other things, Sosnowski’s book “Borges y la Cabala: sendero del Verbo” (Borges and the Kabbalah: a Path to the Word), a critical work published in the early 70s. Thus was the idea born of this fantastic art book, of which a very limited edition will be available. There was a presentation of the book in Buenos Aires in July 2006 and at the Library of Congress in Jan. 2007.

Gabor, I recall a story about a great library (Babylon? Alexandria?) where G-d was to be found in a single letter hidden within the countless volumes upon the endless tiers of shelves.
