>Divsha Amira's thesis was published in French in Tel-Aviv in 1925. The text
>Machover is referring to may be a translation of this.
I don't think so. As far as I remember, it was a Hilbert-style presentation
of [plane?] Euclidean geometry, perhaps intended for secondary school, as a

Yes, that's right. (Nice to hear from you!)
>I believe that Divsha and he were divorced at the time.
Yes, this is certainly true. And rumour had it that what led to the divorce
was that she was by far the better mathematician of the two.
