Abstract: In ‘El acto del libro’, Borges returns to the Quixote and reinterprets the ‘cartapacio’ of Cide Hamete Benengeli as prophetic and magical. Branding his proposition a ‘fantasía’, he hints at common ground with the belief systems of Islam and Christianity, specifically their doctrines of predestination and free will. Consideration of certain theories regarding the sources of both the Koran and the Bible leads to the assertion of a metaphysics of the book that encompasses some key areas and motifs in Borges’s wider œuvre. Important points of reference in the latter include ‘Las ruinas circulares’, ‘La busca de Averroes’, ‘Ajedrez’, and ‘Everness’.
