Congratulations to Colin Wakefield, of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, on
his starring role (along with James Montgomery, Tariq Ali & other
luminaries of modern Arabism) in the recent BBC Radio 3 programme "Child on
an Island". This was about Ibn Tufayl's _Hayy Ibn Yaqzan_, the Bodleian MS
of it, and the 17th-century edition & Latin translation by Edward Pococke.
