Division of theS ubject. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; whea his branch it jet tender, and patteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. It seems to be the first duty of aM storian to investigate the causes of great revolutions; for an event wH cli happens at any other, but its due season, is a miracle: we should consider it as a wonder, if the sun should rise one second before, or after its appointed hour; or if any one were to accomplish, in his childhood, what is expected of him in his riper age In like manner, had the illiterate prophet produced the revolutions which he headed, the ontological argument for his faith, which lie constantly urged, would be irrefutable: we should be obliged to acknowledge his doctrine as absolute truth, because it was victorious. In investigating, however, the origin of that ertraordinary phenomenon, the victory of a false religion, we must separate the causes of its rise in A rabia from those of its propagation beyond the limits of that country. The former we find in the awaking of healthy minds from the dreams of the ancient world to the knowledge of one immaterial God.

Orientalist university professor
Sprenger studied medicine, natural sciences as well as oriental languages at the University of Vienna.
In this capacity he had many textbooks translated into Hindustani from European languages. In 1848 he was sent to Lucknow, to prepare a catalogue of the royal library there, the first volume of which appeared in Calcutta in 1854. This book, with its lists of Persian poets, its careful description of all the chief works of Persian poetry and its valuable biographical material, became a worthy guide for the exploration of Persian literature.
In 1850 Sprenger was named examiner, official government interpreter, and secretary of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta.
He published many works while holding this latter position, among them “Dictionary of the Technical terms used in the sciences of the Musulmans” (1854) and “Ibn Hajar"s biographical dictionary of persons who knew Mohammed” (1856). Sprenger took a position as professor of oriental languages at the University of Bern in 1857, moving in 1881 to Heidelberg.
His voluminous collection of Arabic, Persian, Hindustani and other manuscripts and printed material was eventually acquired by the Royal Library in Berlin. A catalogue of the Bibliotheca Orientalis Sprengeriana.
