==The author==
Simon Ockley, vicar of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, devoted himself from an early age to the study of eastern languages and customs and was appointed Sir Thomas Adams Professor of Arabic at Cambridge in 1711. The first volume of his work generally known as ''The History of the Saracens'', appeared in 1708 as '' Conquest of Syria, Persia, and Egypt by the Saracens'', the second in 1718, with an introduction dated from Cambridge Castle, where he was then imprisoned for debt. Edward Gibbon, who admired and used his work, speaks of his fate as “unworthy of the man and of his country.” His ''History'' extends from the death of Mahomet, 632, to that of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, 705; the work was cut short by the author's death in 1720. ''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.
