Eco: The Search for the Perfect Language (1995)
Bibliofreak points out in his review of Umberto Eco‘s The Search for the Perfect Language
Chapter one discusses Bible stories, and chapter two gets into Kabbalah and Gematria. People interested in Gematria and it’s mathematico-linguistic mysteries should not miss this. I think I just “mathematico” up…but don’t you always us “o” and not “al” in the first word in a double adjective hyphen? Sadly, Eco does not answer this. Chapter six will pick up on Kabbalah again.
