      Athanasius Kircher, que tenía algo de Perec avant la lettre, había sido un genio del siglo XVI dominado por el demonio de la curiosidad inagotable por todo lo que tenía a la vista, especialmente por las cosas más fugitivas y por el deseo de catalogarlas, liberándolas así de la fugacidad y del misterio que las rodeaba.
