provenance

I present here in English versions of the texts of Dina in various languages which Icarus entrusted to me.

It is a free translation, and I have added some material which links the episodes into a whole. This material derives mainly from notes of Dina which Icarus discovered in his aunt’s apartment in Cairo, and which were written in Arabic. He did not realise before finding these notes that Dina was comfortable writing Arabic, as well as English, French, and German.
