Letizia Alverez de Toledo has observed that the vast Library is pointless; strictly speaking, all that is required is a single volume, of the common size, printed in nine or ten point type, that would consist of an infinite number of infinitely thin pages. (In the early seventeenth century, Cavlieri stated that every solid body is the superposition of an infinite number of planes.) Using that silken vademecum would not be easy: each apperent page would open into similar pages; the inconceivable middle page would have no "back."
