The pages are very clear. Edward Pococke 1604-1691, was an English Orientalist and biblical scholar. He made himself master of Arabic, which he not only read but spoke fluently, studied Hebrew, Samaritan, Syriac, and Ethiopic, and associated of friendly terms with learned Muslims and Jews who helped him in collecting manuscripts. Pococke's observation of eastern manners and natural history served him in good stead as a commentator on the Old Testament (cf. his famous correction of 'wailing like the dragons' in Micah 1, into 'howling like the jackals') As a pastor he was devoted and indefatigable. The theological works of Pococke were collected in two volumes, and published in 1740 with a curious account of his life and writings by Leonard Twells.).

Second edition of a work which represented "a revolution in Arabic studies" (ODNB) on first publication in 1650. Pococke (1604-1691) was the first Laudian professor of Arabic at Oxford. In 1631 he travelled to Aleppo as chaplain to the Levant Company, and returned to England five years later with a large collection of Arabic manuscripts which included the "Mukhtasar fi'l-duwal", an account of Islamic history written by a 13th-century Syrian bishop Bar Hebraeus (known in Arabic as Abu'l-Faraj) and far superior to anything other sources then available in Europe. He published a small excerpt in Arabic and Latin, with, most importantly, "a lengthy commentary.illuminating Islamic history, geography, mythology, religion, and literature from a wealth of sources, mostly unpublished and previously unknown in Europe. It is his greatest work, and of permanent scholarly value" (ibid.) This edition includes as an appendix the section on the Arabs before Islam from the Mukhtasar ta'rikh al-bashar ("Abridged History of Mankind") of Syrian prince Abu'l-Fida' (1273-1331), which is here printed with the Latin translation and notes of the pre-eminent 19th-century French orientalist Sylvestre de Sacy. The editor, Joseph White (1746-1814) was electedunanimously to the Laudian chair in 1774, and was also a highly accomplished Hebrew scholar.

XV, [1 blank], 573, [3 blank] pp.Second edition of Pococke's elaborate Specimen historiae Arabum, an excerpt from Abu'l-Faraj's Islamic history, in Arabic and Latin. The excerpt is "accompanied by a lengthy commentary (printed first in 1648) illuminating Islamic history, geography, mythology, religion, and literature from a wealth of sources, mostly unpublished and previously unknown in Europe. It represents a revolution in Arabic studies, being Pococke's attempt to show that far from being a mere ancillary to biblical exegesis, Arabic literature (in the widest sense) was worthy of study in its own right in the same way that classical cultures were. It is his greatest work, and of permanent scholarly value" (Toomer). Abu'l-Faraj's account is followed by unpublished fragments, in Arabic, of Abu'l-Fida's account of pre-Islamic Arabia, edited by Sylvestre de Sacy.From the library of the Ducs de Luynes, with their bookplate on pastedown.
