Francisco Pons y Boigues

Francisco Pons y Boigues (1861-1899) was a Spanish Arabist and historian.

Life

Francisco Pons Boigues was born into humble circumstances in 1861 in the Valencian town of Carcaixent.[1] He gained an early education at the seminar in Valencia. Following an opportune meeting with the Arabist Francisco Codera y Zaidín (editor of the series Bibliotheca arabico-hispana) he became his pupil. Codera encouraged him to study at the Faculty of Arts in Madrid. There his teacher was Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo. He graduated in 1885. Among his published texts were Apuntes de un viaje por Argelia y Túnez ('Notes of a trip through Algeria and Tunisia') (1888),[2][1] Notes on the Mozarabic writings of Toledo that are preserved in the National Historical Archive (Madrid, 1897), Essay Biobibliography on Arabic-Spanish historians and geographers (Madrid, 1898), Two important works of Ibn Hazm[3]) and Hayy ibn Yaqdhan of Ibn Tufail (Zaragoza, 1900, with a preface by Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo), among others.[1] He died in 1899.[1]

gollark: You can get the time/date in UTC and localtime with `os.date` or something, and Unix time, but I don't think there's a way to parse dates.
gollark: The rest of `pastebin` is mostly just argument parsing. Well, and handling other stuff like `put` and `run`.
gollark: The *important* bit is just that it downloads the *raw* file from pastebin, then writes it to startup.
gollark: ```lualocal function update() local h, err = http.get("https://pastebin.com/raw/whatever") if not h then printError(err) return end local f = fs.open("startup", "w") f.write(h.readAll()) f.close() h.close()end```
gollark: You could use the idea of it instead of downloading it using `pastebin`, I mean.
