The Davidowitz fan club's most ambitious project, "Davidowitz's Decalingua", was officially launched on 29 May 2015, aiming to translate Davidowitz's latest collection, "Je Suis Davidowitz", into ten world languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Persian, Hebrew, Greek, Italian, Georgian, Polish and Hungarian. The idea of publishing the collection in ten languages was inspired by ten strings on Psaltery of King David and also by the Rosetta Stone, the discovery of which allowed for the restoration and interpretation of the Egyptian hieroglyphic system. By juxtaposing Davidowitz's aphorisms in ten different languages, of different language groups and families, it is possible to rediscover ancient, but anthropologically universal, modes of thinking. The collection was translated into English by students of the University of Bath (U.K.) on exchange at Voronezh State University: Pascal Cisse, Katie Taylor and Radha Patel.
