Could you help me?
I got the following from a friend; since he is not on the list, please respond directly to him. Thanks, Rachel Rachel Simon -- rsimon@... -- Princeton University Libraries ************************************************************** I would be grateful for any biographical information about the Egyptian scholar, Abd al-Rahman Badawi. I know he is Egyptian and was born in the first third of this century. He was a student of Louis Massignon. He wrote copiously on classical Greek philosophy, medieval Arabic philosophy, Islamic sectarianism, orientalists, etc., etc. But when exactly was he born? Is he still alive, and if not, when did he die? What academic posts did he hold? I have checked the "normal" sources available to me and come up empty handed. I am hoping there are sources available to members of MELA that I do not know about. Please respond to me privately: pmiller@... Many thanks. Philip E. Miller.
