This paper establishes the coincidences between the narrative of José Saramago’s novelentitledTodos os Nomes(1997) and the actions of Natalis de Wailly in 1841 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte, France Imperator at that time, with the aim of creating an operative framework to organize the documentsof the France National Archives which had been dismantled to attend Bonaparte’s governance. The broadobjective of this paper is to analyze the peculiarities of the word ‘fonds’used in Saramago’s book and of the technical term Fonds created by Natalis de Wailly. Specifically, it aims to approach the multifunctional character of the word ‘fonds’colloquially used in Todos os Nomes(1997) and its transformation in technical and operative stratagem by Natalis de Wailly in 1841; highlight the conceptual confusions between Fonds, Archive Fonds and Archive present in custodial Archivistics and show the relations between the attitude of Mr.José (fictional character in Saramago’s plot) and the positionof Natalis de Wailly (real character of France of the 19thcentury) in regard to the manner how both, each one in his spatial/temporal context, personifythe maxim “You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have”.
