Ever wonder why MeXico is pronounced MeJico?

The letter "J" was included in the Spanish vocabulary long after Cervante's Quixote was published, and also after the Spaniards conquered the Americas.

First modern novel

Quixote is a detailed monograph on the effects of books, that "abcedminded" state that naturally assists the dissociated role you put-on reading a book, that only heated archetypes, as those of the great 'caballero andantes' can register in the attention of the reader.

Cervantes himself describes Quixote's mind as profoundly misguided by reading too much:

>Es, pues, de saber que este sobredicho hidalgo ... se daba a leer libros de caballerías, con tanta afición y gusto, que olvidó casi de todo punto el ejercicio de la caza y aun la administración de su hacienda ... llegaba a leer aquellos requiebros y cartas de desafíos, donde en muchas partes hallaba escrito: "La razón de la sinrazón que a mi razón se hace, de tal manera mi razón enflaquece, que con razón me quejo de la vuestra fermosura." Y también cuando leía: "Los altos cielos que de vuestra divinidad divinamente con las estrellas os fortifican y os hacen merecedora del merecimiento que merece la vuestra grandeza..."
>Con estas razones perdía el pobre caballero el juicio, y desvelábase por enterderlas y desentrañarles el sentido, que no se lo sacara ni las entendiera el mismo Aristóteles, si resucitara para sólo ello.

Cervantes was looking at print not as a means of translating or depicting reality, but as having its own modality of experience, its own syntax, and its own say on reality in creating the illusion of detachment: that abcedmindedness. Whereas medieval scholars would study both the "Book of Scripture" and the "Book of Nature", the book in western culture from the renaissance onwards became itself such a relevant tool that its worlds of euclidean uniformity started to be taken as nature itself.
