Some Jewish Contributions to J.L. Borges' Works

Abstract

First of all I don't try to participate in the very well-known controversy between two opinions: if J.L. Borges is close to Judaism vs. Borges ignorant or strange to Judaism. I am only interested in the study of the Jewish hypotexts of the Borgian works. I would Iike to emphasize those which come from the Jewish philosopher Baruk Spinoza and sorne from the Kabbalah, and confront these texts with Borges' literary interpretation of them.
