Very simple reply. A partial translation by yours truly of the introduction to the Star Diaries:
..."Concerning the eighth voyage, a group of Tichologists - psychoanalytics have verified - just before the printing of this edition - all the particulars that happened in Ion Tichy's dream***. The interested reader will find in Doctor Hopfstosser's work a comparative bibliography showing the influence of dreams of such people as Isaac Newton or the Borgias on the dreams of Tichy, and vice-versa.
This edition does not, however, include the twenty-sixth voyage, which was deemed apocryphal. It was proved so by the members of our institute, who gave the texts an electron compatibility analysis, and found it a fake ****. It should be added that I have for a long time considered the so-called "twenty-sixth voyage" an apocryph because of the apparent mistakes in the script, especially concerning the Odolegows (and not Odelegows, as in the text), and also the Meopsers, Muciochs, and the species Powoluw (Phlegmus Invariabilis Hopfstoseri)...."
Cheers, Socrates
