Edward Pococke was an English Orientalist and biblical scholar, whose work delved deeply into the study of Eastern languages and religious texts. He is particularly noted for his interest in spreading Christianity in the East, evidenced by his 1674 Arabic translation of the Book of Common Prayer. His extensive collection of Oriental manuscripts and his scholarship in Arabic history and lexicography mark him as a significant figure in Oriental studies and theology of his era.
This rare edition of Dr. Pocock's theological works includes his Porta Mosis and English commentaries on the books of Hosea, Joel, Micah, and Malachi. Also featured is a previously unpublished account of his life and writings, accompanied by a new general index. A must-have for scholars of religious studies and history.
