It is the Book of Thoth as Nazi myth that Moses will recuperate as the absolute truth of history. LaBas, on the other hand, seems to have done so, locating the Book's jeweled holder - only to discover, in a moment of counterepiphany, that the case is empty, the Book of Thoth having presumably been burned by the prudish Hamid, who felt that the Book depicted rites which were "lewd, nasty, [and] decadent" (231). The absent Text does more than question LaBas's ability as a reader; as LaBas's history of the Book of Thoth suggests, the Text's absence questions the entire notion of textuality held by the West. |
