Â
In one scene, this character sits on his bed at night while reciting part of the seventh book of Pliny's Natural History, which he requests to borrow from one of his friends along with a latin dictionary. Â Crippled after a horseback riding accident, this character's comprehension of the idea of the mane of a stallion is compared to a student's comprehension of a right triangle. Â Upset at the name of the Thirty Three Immortals, he devises a numbering system wherein (*) each number is represented by a different word, claiming to have reached 24,000 digits. Â He gives up on his attempt to liken each specific object that he has encountered with a different word, and his understanding of general concepts like "dog" is minimal. Â For 10 points, name this character with a perfect memory created by Jorge Luis Borges.
