Fishburn and Hughes: "A term derived from the school of philosophy founded in the fifth century BC by Parmenides of Elea, whose favourite pupil was Zeno. Opposing Heraclitus, and foreshadowing the idealism of Berkeley, the Eleatics argued against belief in the reality of motion and the plurality of things which would involve changes in the state of 'being'. They held that 'being' was necessarily one and unchanged, while individual things and movement were an illusion. Their teaching methods were based on a system of paradoxes or proofs 'ad absurdum', such as the flying arrow which passes through a series of points in which it is static and the race between Achilles and the tortoise to which Borges frequently refers. See Aporias, Contest with the tortoise." (65)

Anglo-American poet and critic, 1888-1965, author of The Waste Land, Four Quartets, Tradition and the Individual Talent, Murder in the Cathedral and other works

Fishburn and Hughes: "An English poet and critic, born in USA. Eliot was the author of 'The Waste Land' (1922), an allegorical poem expressing man's need for salvation, and Four Quartets (1936-42), a series of poems evincing a preoccupation, shared by Borges, with time, individuality and the place of man in history.

The Immortal, CF 195: refers to Eliot's allusive vocabulary and deliberate anachronisms introduced 'to forge an appearance of eternity' (Nota sobre Walt Whitman, Disc. 122).
The Approach to Al-Mu’tasim CF 86: Eliot's work as a literary critic was equally important. Borges admired his criticism of the Elizabethans and shared his classical approach. Borges's seminal essay 'Kafka and his Precursors' (TL 363), in which he argues that a writer influences not only the future but also the past, is based on ideas expressed by Eliot in 'Tradition and Individual Talent'."

El Royal-Pigall fue un lujoso cabaret de estilo parisino, instalado desde fines del siglo xix en Corrientes al 800; funcionaba en el edificio del Teatro Royal, de ahí su nombre completo; cerró sus puertas en 1924, cuando en el mismo lugar se inauguró otro famoso cabaret, el Tabarís. El edificio fue demolido en 1936, al ensancharse la calle Corrientes. El restaurante “La Emiliana” fue inaugurado en el barrio del Once en 1882; a partir de 1934 funcionó en la calle Corrientes, en un elegante edificio neoclásico con mobiliario importado de Viena; en 1992 cerró definitivamente y en el lugar funciona Colegio Público de Abogados" (385).

Parodi: obra de Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), escritor y filósofo nacido en Suiza, uno de los pensadores atípicos de la Ilustración francesa. En 1762 publica sus dos obras más importantes, El contrato social y Emilio o de la educación, ambas prohibidas de inmediato. En la novela Emilio, Rousseau analiza los procesos mediante los cuales el niño se sociabiliza y pierde su bondad e inocencia naturales. Frente a la cultura racionalista y libresca, propone una educación que acompañe y fomente los procesos naturales humanos. Criticando la pedagogía ilustrada, Emilio se educará a sí mismo para dar lugar a una nueva sociedad, más libre y cercana a su estado natural. La novela está dividida en cinco partes. Las tres primeras se dedican a la niñez, la cuarta se consagra a la adolescencia y la última abrevia la educación de Sofía, mujer ideal, y de la vida paternal, política y moral de Emilio. César Paladión publica su Emilio durante el período 1911-1919.

En una conversación con Borges, en 1966 (Borges 1153-1154), Bioy recita un verso del poema de Querol: “Hablan de pie mi padre y mis hermanos”; Borges comenta: “Qué bien que se descubrieran manuscritos con versiones anteriores; por ejemplo: Hablan del pie...y también: Hablan a pie... que sugiere una casa llena de animales; y elogiar el certero criterio del poeta, que eligió finalmente lo mejor”" (302).

Daniel Ibarra book of sonnets, 1983

Carriego poem in Las misas herejes

the hidden or infinite God, according to the Zohar

Fishburn and Hughes: "Hebrew for 'endless': a Cabbalistic term designating the impersonal and ineffable nature of God before his manifestation in the creation of the world. The negative emphasis of the term (en, 'nothing'; sof, 'end') seeks to convey the idea that God, as he existed before Creation, was unknowable to man, who was unable to express his existence. Any actual name would imply a limitation on the concept of God and therefore be an impossibility; the negative signifies a refusal to impose any boundaries upon the designation of God. This concept of a hidden God, 'that which is not conceivable by thinking', was a factor leading to the heretical belief in a duality between the impersonal and unfathomable God and the personal Demiurge of Creation which lay at the root of Gnosticism."

According to the Antología de la literatura fantástica and Cuentos breves y extraordinarios short story from the T’ang Dinasty.

the eleventh edition of 1910-1911 is most frequently cited by Borges

Fishburn and Hughes: "Borges, attracted to the claim that encyclopaedias embrace the totality of human knowledge, as the word implies, owned a set of the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 29 volumes (1910-11), the last edition to have been published in Britain. The tenth edition (1902-3), said in Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' to be the original of the piratical Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, is a reprint of the 24 volumes of the ninth edition plus 11 supplementary volumes, one containing new maps and one a comprehensive index to the whole work. The 20 volumes mentioned as circulating in the USA in about 1824 are probably the sixth edition of 1823. In 1824 these were reprinted with six supplementary volumes." (66)

Fishburn and Hughes: "The Roman national epic written by Virgil: it narrates the wanderings of the Trojan prince Aeneas after the destruction of Troy and his arrival in Latium. Virgil's intention was to show the divine origins of Rome and of the Emperor Augustus as a descendant of Aeneas, the son of Venus. See too The Immortal, CF 186: the line 'naked on the unknown sand' refers to the words spoken by Aeneas in anguish at the death of his friend the helmsman Palinurus: 'nudus in ignota, Palinure, iacebis arena' (5.871). Softened by the prayers of Venus, Neptune had at last agreed to allow the progress of the Trojan fleet and had promised a calm sea. But a victim was required: Palinurus was tempted into sleep and thrown into the water, later to be washed up on the shores of Italy." (3-4)
