    • This collection, translated by Andrew Hurley, contains the stories from the following Borges collections: Historia universal de la infamia, Ficciones, El Aleph, El hacedor, Elogio de la sombra, El informe de Brodie, El libro de arena, and Veinticinco agosto 1983 y otros cuentos. Although Hurley divided the translated collections into separate sections in Collected Fictions, he did not previously publish them separately.
    • Note on the 1998 pub. The copyright page states "Andrew Hurley's translation of 'August 25, 1983' first appeared in The New Yorker and his translation of 'Blue Tigers' in Grand Street." This information is inaccurate. Grand Street did not publish any story translated by Hurley; the story published in the New Yorker (13 April 1998) was "Shakespeare's Memory", and "The Rose of Paracelsus" had also appeared in print, in the New York Review of Books (13 August 1998), before the publication of Collected Fictions.
