Richard Pococke (1704 –1765) was an English prelate and anthropologist. From 1737-1741 he visited the Near East, visiting Egypt, ascending the Nile as far as Philae, and then passed into Palestine, Lebanon & Syria, Asia Minor, and Greece. He often visited places where few travellers had been before. - Koster 42.1 & 42.2; Cox I, p. 224-5; Tiele 869; Ibrahim-Hilmy II, p. 124; Tobler p. 127: "Darin liegt eben das verdienstliche, dass Pococke dem Tross der Pilger nicht folgte."€ 1800
