Nerval en filigrane dans Le Nom de la Rose d’Umberto Eco

This article studies a particular case of intertextuality in Le Nom de la Rose by Umberto Eco. Beginning with the quotation (without quotation marks) of a sentence from Sylvie until a whole series of coincidences (a manuscript, numerological models, the evocation of the abbot of Bucquoy, the title of the final sequence, Dernier feuillet), all signs point to the hidden presence of Gérard de Nerval. Hence the hypothesis of a phantom text in which Sylvie appears as the hypogram or the generative matrix of the Name of the Rose.
