The History of the Saracens: Comprising the Lives of Mohammed and His Successors, to the Death of Abdalmelik, the Eleventh Caliph (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from The History of the Saracens: Comprising the ...)

Excerpt from The History of the Saracens: Comprising the Lives of Mohammed and His Successors, to the Death of Abdalmelik, the Eleventh Caliph Arabic authors, especially manuscripts, not hitherto published in any European language; and for that purpose resided a long time at Oxford, to be near the Bodleian library, where those manuscripts were reposited. It is in 2 vols. 8vo. The first of which was published in 1708; the second, in 1718' and both were soon after republished. A third edition was printed, in the same size, at Cambridge, in 1757; to which is prefixed, An Account of the Arabians or Saracens, of the Life of Mohammed, and the Mohammedan Religion, by a learned hand that is, by the learned Dr. Long, master of Pembroke hall, in Cambridge. While at Oxford, preparing this work, he sent a letter to his daughter, part of which is worth transcribing, as charac teristic both of him and his labours. My condition here is this: one of the most useful and necessary authors I have is written in such a wretched hand, that the very reading of it is perfect deciphering. I am forced sometimes to take three or four lines together, and then pull them all to pieces to find where the words begin and end for oftentimes it is so written, that. A word is divided as if the former part of it was the end of the foregoing word, and the latter part the beginning of another; besides innumerable other difficulties known only to those that understand the language. Add to this the pai of abridging, comparing authors, selecting proper materials and the like, which in a remote and copious language, abound ing with difficulties sometimes insuperable, make it equivalent at least to the performing of six times so much in Greek and Latin. So that if I continue in the same course in which Iam engaged at present, that is, from the time I rise in the morn ing till I can see no longer at night, I cannot pretend once to entertain the least thought of seeing home till Michaelmas. Were it not that there is some satisfaction in answering the end of my profession, some in making new discoveries, and some in the hopes of obliging my country with the history of the greatest empire the world ever yet saw, I would sooner do almost anything than submit to the drudgery.

History of the Saracens

(The History of the Saracens is a book written by Simon Oc...)

The History of the Saracens is a book written by Simon Ockley of Cambridge University and first published in the early 18th century. 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.5 Stanley Lane-Poole in the Dictionary of National Biography wrote that: "The work was based upon a manuscript in the Bodleian Library ascribed to the Arabic historian El-Wâkidî, with additions from El-Mekîn, Abû-l-Fidâ, Abû-l-Faraj, and others. Hamaker, however, has proved that the manuscript in question is not the celebrated 'Kitâb el-Maghâzî' of El-Wâkidî, but the 'Futûh esh-Sham,' a work of little authority, which has even been characterised as 'romance rather than history'" citing the opinion of William Robertson Smith in the article on Ockley from the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. The author in question is now known as pseudo-Waqidi.6 Lane-Poole notes that the History "formed for generations the main source of the average notions of early Mohammedan history." Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
