About the Book

Desde los inexistentes ombligos de Adan y Eva -visibles en muchos grabados medievales y renacentistas-, pasando por la longevidad de Matusalen, la creencia de que no hubo arco iris antes del diluvio, las ciguenas solo anidan en republicas, el cristal es hielo, los judios hieden, los negros lo son por maldicion divina sobre un antepasado o que las liebres nacen y viven hermafroditas, junto con infinidad de otras doctrinas igualmente fabulosas, extranas y divertidas, casi no hay dislate popular difundido desde la antiguedad hasta mediados del XVII que el medico y escritor sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682), B+el mayor prosista de las letras inglesasB; -en opinion de Borges-, no recoja y rebata en este su "magnum opus." En "Pseudodoxia Epidemica," publicada por primera vez en 1646, Browne, inventor del termino B+electricidadB; , nos presenta, inspirandose en una sugerencia del canciller Bacon, una enciclopedia de creencias vulgares erradas, corrientes en su epoca, que diseca y descarta con estilo erudito y agudo. Pseudodoxia Epidemica, conocida tambien como Sobre errores vulgares, es la obra que el padre Feijoo fue acusado de plagiar en su Theatro Critico Universal o discursos varios en todo genero de materias para desengano de los errores comunes, como se aclara en la introduccion a este volumen. Presentamos hoy un texto en verdad inolvidable, de la pluma de uno de los mayores autores ingleses, en seleccion que abarca mas de un tercio del original. La traduccion, prologada y anotada por Daniel Waissbein, va acompanada de otra obra maestra: la breve biografia sobre Browne escrita setenta anos despues de su muerte por el famoso Samuel Johnson, asi como por varios apendices, uno de ellos sobre losvinculos que existen entre las obras de Browne y las de Borges.
