La bella ballena de John Wilkins: una escurridiza errata en un texto de Borges
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study analyzes the trajectory followed by a typo that affects an essay by Jorge Luis Borges, entitled «The analytical language of John Wilkins», originally from 1942. After introducing the textual divergence in a 1960 reissue, two different branches opened in the tree of translations of the text, which have been traced here in 15 editions in 12 different languages.
