BORGES, Jorge Luis. Cuaderno San Martin. Buenos Aires: Editorial proa, 1929. Octavo, 64pp. First edition. In publisher's printed, pink, paper-covered wrappers. Wear to edges, internally near fine, with some minor evidence of restoration. Becco 8. Loewenstein 49. This copy inscribed on the half-title to Wally Zenner, "a Wally, con la debida admiración de Jorge Luis Borges, 1929." In addition Borges has transcribed in full the poem "A la doctrina de pasión de tu voz," which is dedicated to Zenner in print in the present volume. For some time, Borges was deeply enamoured by the beautiful and prolific Buenos Aires poet, and even twenty years on we find him contributing the introduction to her fifth collection of verse, Antigua lumbre. [For a more detailed appreciation of Borges's relationship with Zenner, see below in the description of the manuscript of Borges's introduction to her collection Encuentro en el allá seguro (1931).]An extraordinary copy of a rare book.
