Este artículo describe la práctica de Borges de escribir las segundas versiones de la mayor parte  de los cuentos de El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan (1941) en las páginas del Haber de un cuaderno de contabilidad. Luego de reconstruir el contenido de ese cuaderno (del que se cortaron los borradores de los cuentos), de estudia en detalle el manuscrito de uno de los cuentos, “Examen de la obra de Herbert Quain”. Por unos detalles que difieren de la versión publicada en Sur, se puede fechar ese manuscrito con cierta precisión. Este artigo descreve a prática de Borges de escrever as segundas versões da maior parte dos contos do Jardim das bifurcações (1941) nas páginas do Haver num caderno de contabilidade. Depois de reconstruir o conteúdo desse caderno (do qual foram tirados os rascunhos dos contos), se estuda em detalhe o manuscrito de um desses relatos, “Exame da obra de Herbert Quain”. Graças a alguns pontos que divergem da versão publicada na revista Sur, é possível datar esse manuscrito com certa precisão.
