ALSC NEWSLETTER »» SUMMER 2000 aaFrom the Editor aIt would be hard to imagine a more delightful or astonishingwork than The Manuscript Found in Saragossa.The novel was written in French by the Polish aristocratJan Potocki, whose own life, ended by his hand in 1815,makes an engrossing tale. Yet the novel surpasses eventhe authorOs rich biography. Its cast of hidalgos, cabbalists,mathematicians, houris, Inquisitors, and crypto-Moslemstell and participate in tales told over sixty-six days (. laBocaccio or the Arabian Nights) in the no-manOs land ofSpainOs haunted Sierra Morena. This intricate web ofstorytelling, escapades, and conspiracy blends politicalintrigue and supernatural thrill in what is really a panoramaof Enlightenment EuropeOs fears and fancies.The stories that make up the Manuscript run fromplayfully erotic episodes to philosophical discourses. Wehear gothic nightmares, courtly farces, moral tales, historiesfrom classical antiquity, esoteric secrets and Enlightenmentdreams of encyclopedic knowledge. Some charactersshow up in the stories of others, revising the outcomes:one characterOs tale of Christian faith in the hereafteris told from a different vantage point in anothercharacterOs story, turning it into a comedy of marital infidelity.At times the stories-within-stories threaten to becomeso labyrinthine that the characters listening to themcomplain that they are confused.At the center of all these tales stands Alphonse VanWorden, the young Walloon officer who in 1739 findshimself caught in both the mountains and the mysteriousdesigns of the Moslem Gomelez dynasty. The sistersEmina and Zubeida, like Van Worden heirs of the secretsof the Gomelez, want to marry the punctilious soldier andallow him access to the riches of their undergroundMoslem networkNif only he will give up his ChristianOBut we cabbalists laugh at the presumption of thosewho believe that all that is needed in order to readare the physical organs of sight.ON Don Pedro de Uzeda,in The Manuscript Found in SaragossaReading Jan PotockiOsThe Manuscript Found in SaragossabyMichael Weingrad(Continued on back page)Full details of the upcoming conference at the ChicagoRegal Knickerbocker Hotel were carried in the springnewsletter, but in case you have mislaid that issue the mainoutlines are given here once more. This annual event isthe focal point of the AssociationOs year; I hope youOlldecide to join fellow ALSC members in Chicago for whatis always both a cheering and absorbing experience. Thespecial room rate is still available.This issue also brings the annual membership directory.Some members have asked for more detail in thedirectory, and perhaps that will be possible in future years,but for the moment it is always possible to ask the officefor a printout of members in your locality if you are tryingto organize a regional or local meeting.The Council has recently decided to settle the nationaloffice in the Boston area, and we shall move there in latefall of this year. When the Association was founded in1994 it was unclear what kind of administrative arrangementswould suit it best because its eventual size and characterwere as yet unknown. Accordingly, we have seen anumber of changes in the shape of our administration andits location. But after much reflection the Council decidedthat the office would best be located on a major campus inan area where the Association has considerable local support.No area fits this prescription better than Boston. Thatis where we held our initial planning conference, and oursecond, sixth and eighth Presidents are from the Bostonarea. When Boston University kindly offered to house usthe Council readily accepted, not least because we shouldthen be next door to our sister organization the HistoricalSociety, also housed at BU. It should be helpful to bothassociations to have staffs which have so much in commonin close proximity to each other.

A number of the stories his hostsrecount are clearly meant to weaken his faith, or at leastto develop in him a healthy sense of cultural relativism.And the sisters are quite persuasive, although the menwho join them in their menages tend to wake up in theembrace not of two women, but of two male corpses,after being mysteriously transported to the gallows whichserves as the geographical anchor of the novel. VanWorden, who with the reader is privy to a series of theseapparently supernatural, erotic and necrophiliacdoublings, cannot quite tell if he is the witness of demonicpowers or Islamic conspiracy. Magic or politics,possession or ideology? Part of the novelOs charm consistsin its blurring of these categories, offering strikingx-rays of what disturbs the WestOs fitful sleep. Natural orsupernatural, EuropeOs insecurities are evident on every page.Though Ian Maclean recently, and ably, translatedinto English the complete text of PotockiOs one workof fiction (I rely on his 1995 Penguin edition for myquotations), a small portion of the Manuscript had alreadysnuck its way into English over a century ago,when it was published by Washington Irving, whoclaimed it as his own reworking of a story receivedfrom the adventurer Caliogstro. IrvingOs OborrowingOwas first noticed in the 1950s by the French man ofletters, Roger Caillois, who assembled a French editionof part of the Manuscript after coming across bothPotocki and Irving when he edited an anthology ofsupernatural tales. A complete original of PotockiOs novelhas still not been found, and MacleanOs translation followsa French edition that was put together with the help of aPolish translation. This is all entirely appropriate for anovel which Potocki frames at the start by the conceit thatit is Van WordenOs diary, translated into French by a soldierin NapoleonOs army who finds it during the siege ofSaragossa in 1809.Potocki himself was quite a palimpsest. Born in 1761,he studied in Poland and Switzerland, and traveled extensivelyin places including Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, andMongolia. He was extremely learned, writing a great dealin particular on Slavic culture and history, but he was mostfamous in his own lifetime for an hour-long balloon rideNextremely risky in 1788Nhe took outside Warsaw withthe aeronaut Blanchard. His politics too were a curiousblend. While he was very sympathetic to the liberal movementsof his dayNhe argued for the abolition of serfdomin Poland, and for the abolition of hereditary monarchyNhe also developed an increasing skepticism regarding theirprograms. Thus, along with his connections to the Jacobinsand freemasonry, he was an advisor to Czar Alexander I.He is said to have had the estateOs priest bless the bullet withwhich, for indeterminate reasons, he blew his brains out.As Maclean notes in his introduction, the complexityof such a figure gives us little help in determining theworldview of the equally slippery Manuscript, with theplethora of different value-systems and perspectives enactedand expounded by the novelOs characters. Christianzeal, secular geometry, Spanish honor, and French frivolityrub up against each other. The mathematician Velasquezexplains that life and love can be plotted according to parabolicequations, while Pandesowna the Gypsy chief seemsto advocate a life of freedom and unpredictability. Certainlythere is a good deal of eighteenth-century liberalismand skepticism in the book, but there are also registerssomewhat dark for the Age of Lights. A reading of thenovel would be very much at home next to the treatmentsof Homer and Sade in Max Horkheimer and TheodorAdornoOs Dialectic of Enlightenment, as an example of thephilosophersO contention that OMyth is already enlightenment;and enlightenment reverts to mythology.O InPotockiOs tales, the exotic, the mythical, and the fantasticbecome the vehicles for enlightenment ideology, while theevident rationalists and encyclopedists are often prone todisaster. Ahaseurus the Wandering Jew, that mythical figurespawned from anti-semitic intolerance, is the voice ofanthropological relativism. He describes the highly fluidnature of religious history at the time of Jesus (Oall religionswere bound to change,O he says), making him themost ironizing Wandering Jew prior to Mel BrooksOs 2,000Year Old Man.

OOn regaining his senses, Hervas saw one of thesemonsters dragging the last pages of his analysis into a hole.Anger had perhaps never before entered HervasOs soul, buthe then felt a first spasm of it, rushed at the destroyer ofhis transcendental geometry, struck his head against thewall and fell down unconscious once again.O Slapstick forthe critic of eighteenth-century rationalism.But I suspect that most indicative of the novelOsworldview is the way in which it is framed. Potocki placeshis stories in a fictional manuscript found by a soldier inNapoleonOs conquering army. In this sense, none of theviewpoints within the novel prevailNthey are all forciblyoutmoded, become mere loot. The Manuscript bids a fond,whimsical farewell to the eighteenth and seventeenth centuries,their obsessions and promises. Inquisition and Enlightenmentare both swept away by the modern world inwhich the glories of Andalusia and Newtonian physics areequally fugitives fleeing before the powerful present, findingrefuge only in the pages of a forgotten diary. Potockibegins the Manuscript as Thomas Mann ends The MagicMountainNthe antinomies of European civilization displayedin the novel are abandoned in the muddy trenchesof war. None of the competing ideologies are a match forthe brute force of the future, unless, as is certainly possible,we take NapoleonOs conquering of Saragossa to bePotockiOs ultimate figure for the Enlightenment. In eithercase, we can begin to see what sort of outlook might haveled a brilliant world traveler and scholar to put a Catholically-blessed bullet in his brain.And yet perhaps neither the novelOs preface nor theauthorOs demise are the last word on the dynamics of theManuscript. The Gomelez family, we are led to assume,continues its subterranean existence, intriguing in cavesand catacombs beneath the surface of modern Europe, readyto burst forth once again against Christendom, or againstEnlightenment rationalism, or even against our moderntechnological West. PotockiOs weave of progress and paranoiaoften sounds a strikingly contemporary note, as whenthe novelOs characters argue that life on earth could havearisen, without GodOs help, through the lightning-chargedelectrification of simple acids and organic compounds, orwhen they evoke fears of Oan Islamic revolution, which isdriven by political interests and fanaticism.O Now seemsas suitable a time as any for the ManuscriptOs rediscovery.(A Polish film version of the novel, made in 1965, is understandablydisappointing.)a Michael Weingrad is the Montague Burton Fellow atthe Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Leedsa4 ALSC NEWSLETTER »» SUMMER 2000aTHE SIXTH ANNUAL CONFERENCEChicago, Regal Knickerbocker Hotel, October 27-29Friday, 27 October10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Registration.2:00 - 5:00 p.m. Modern Consciousness and the Modernist Novel.
