The history of Hai Eb'n Yockdan, an Indian prince: or, The self-taught philosopher. Written originally in the Arabick tongue, by Abi Jaafar Eb'n Tophail, a philosopher by profession, and a Mahometan by religion. Wherein is demonstrated, by what steps and degrees, humane reason, improved by diligent observation and experience, may arrive to the knowledge of natural things, and from thence to the discovery of supernaturals; more especially of God, and the concernments of the other world. Set forth not long ago in the original Arabick, with the Latin version, by Edw Pocock. M.A. and student of Christ-church, Oxon. 1671. And now translated into English
