dbpprop:abstract "The History of the Saracen Empires is a book written by Simon Ockley of Cambridge University and first published in the early 18th century. The full title is \"The History of the Saracens; Comprising the lives of Mohammed and his successors, to the death of Abdalmelik, the Eleventh Caliph. With an account of their most remarkable battles, sieges, revolts, &c. Collected from authentic sources, especially Arabic mss. \" The book has been reprinted many times including London in 1894. Simon Ockley, vicar of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, devoted himself from an early age to the study of eastern languages and customs and was appointed professor of Arabic at Cambridge in 1711. The first volume of his Conquest of Syria, Persia, and Egypt by the Saracens, generally known as The History of the Saracens, appeared in 1708, the second in 1718, with an introduction dated from Cambridge gaol, where he was then imprisoned for debt. Gibbon, who admired and used his work, speaks of his fate as \u201Cunworthy of the man and of his country. \u201D His History extends from the death of Mahomet, 632, to that of the fifth Ommiad caliph, 705; the work was cut short by the author\u2019s death in 1720, after a life of incessant and ill-requited toil. The Life of Mohammed prefixed to the third edition of his History, which was issued for the benefit of his destitute daughter in 1757, is by Roger Long, Master of Pembroke hall, Cambridge. Ockley based his work on an Arabic manuscript in the Bodleian library which later scholars have pronounced less trustworthy than he imagined it to be. A.W. Waller described the author's work: Authenticity of Oakleys work This book is regarded by countless scholars of history as well as by some Muslim scholars as a highly authentic account although some may disagree with certain elements of the work, due to differences in religious belief."@en ;
