Borges’s preface first appeared in the 1932 first edition; it is Borges’s very first text published in French.
This edition is identical to the first: only the translator’s name, Néstor Ibarra, is changed, appearing here as “Saint Ybars”.
Its deluxe issue is smaller, with only 10 copies on Hammermill paper (the 1932 edition had 50).
