Abstract
In the Visión Deleytable we find the vindication of a rationalism of Maimonidean inspiration and the deployment of a wide and encyclopedic amalgam of knowledge. However, a drive of rational auto-limitation also traverses the work, a remarkable predisposition towards the esoteric and the cryptic, the numinous and the arcane. This drive is a counterpoint to the rationalizing vocation of the Visión, nourished by the own idiosyncrasy of Alfonso de la Torre, by epochal factors, but, above all, by the cultural tradition of which he is a recipient, to which he adapts and who crosses Transversally the work. We propose, in this article, a reading of some of the examples that best represent this pole of inverted rationality present in this exceptional work.Downloads
