Khatt Network for Arabic Typography - Timbuktu: Aug 22, 3:30am 1 review africa, books
http://www.khtt.net/article-893-en.html; Timbuktu may disappear under encroaching sand dunes "The local University of Sankore had 25.000 scholars at it height. The amount of bound manuscripts produced gave the city the name of the Alexandria of Africa. All manuscripts were in the Arabic script, some are masterpieces of Arabic calligraphy. All these treasures have long been hidden and kept under very bad circumstances. Conditions have changed now with the help of American and European funds the huge collection is being cataloged, digitized and preserved under better conditions."

YouTube - Vita Sackville-West reads from her poem The Land: Jul 18, 9:21pm 1 review poetry, video
http://video.stumbleupon.com/?p=9vg6hg89u7; Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) reading from her most famous poem The Land. She wrote this about the same time that she started work creating the famous garden at Sissinghurst, which gets thousands of visitors every year. At the time it was radically different from other gardens, as well as having some elements of Classicism and other formal qualities influenced by her years in Iran there was this totally Romantic profusion of plants and a natural ambience. I found this recording via an article about Arcadia in the TLS.
