Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic

Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic is a title used at Cambridge University for the holder of a professorship of Arabic; Sir Thomas Adams, 1st Baronet (1586–1668), Lord Mayor of London in 1645, gave to Cambridge University the money needed to create the first Professorship of Arabic.

[1] The professorship was partly created to propagate the Christian faith "to them who now sit in darkness".
