Abstract

This article seeks to construct, in the form of a commentary, a Jewish genealogy, aesthetic and literary, by Jorge Luis Borges. The narration begins in the Iberian Peninsula and returns to the continent to remember the encounter of the Argentine writer with the Andalusian Rafael Cansinos-Asséns. From this encounter emerges, in Borges’ work, an aesthetic Judaism, which will structure his most important texts.
