Everything about Humphrey Prideaux totally explained
Humphrey Prideaux (1648–1724), Doctor of Divinity and scholar, belonged to an ancient
Cornish family, was born at
Padstow, and educated at
Westminster School and at
Oxford.
He first attracted notice by his description of the
Arundel marbles (1676), which gained for him powerful patrons, and he rose to be
Dean of Norwich. Among his other works were an anti-Islamic
Life of Mahomet (1697), and
The Old and New Testament connected in the History of the Jews and Neighbouring Nations (1715–17), long an important work, of which many editions were brought out. It is credited as the first source in English to use the term
Vulgar Era, though further research is needed to verify this claim. Portions of the two-volume work are available at http://www.exorthodoxforchrist.com/augustus_neander_and_more_books.htm for free download.
