An unusually perceptive and brief biography of Colombian aphorist Nicolás Gómez Dávila by Roberto Pecchioli: "Surrounded by an endless library, he was an extraordinary observer of events and people, to whom he dedicated very short, incisive writings, the “scholia”, which in ancient times were brief notes by scholars in the margins of classical texts, together with comments, exegesis and clarification of the main text. Dàvila's scolii are brilliant, penetrating aphorisms, virtuosities of clarity and conciseness, examples of artistry in the chiselling of words, collected by Mutis in various volumes entitled In the margin of an implicit text (“Escolios a un Texto Implícito”). For Dàvila, that text is the unravelling of modernity and postmodernity, the unwelcome spectacle of decadence seen through skeptical eyes."
