King's See also:College, Carnbridge, where, under Wheelock, See also:professor of Arabic, he made rapid progress in See also:Oriental See also:languages, so that, after only one year of See also:residence, he was invited to See also:London to assist See also:Brian See also:Walton in his edition of the See also:Polyglott See also:Bible. Besides correcting the Arabic, Persic and See also:Syriac texts for that See also:work, Hyde transcribed into Persic characters the See also:Persian See also:translation of the See also:Pentateuch, which had been printed in See also:Hebrew letters at See also:Constantinople in 1546. To this work, which See also:Arch-See also:bishop Ussher had thought well-nigh impossible even for a native of See also:Persia, Hyde appended the Latin version which accompanies it in the Polyglott.

William III. Hyde discharged the duties of Eastern interpreter to the See also:court. Worn out by his unremitting labours, he resigned his librarianship in 1701, and died at Oxford on the 18th of See also:February 1703. Hyde, who was one of the first to See also:direct See also:attention to the vast treasures of Oriental antiquity, was an excellent classical See also:scholar, and there was hardly an Eastern See also:tongue accessible to foreigners with which he was not See also:familiar. He had even acquired See also:Chinese, while his writings are the best testimony to his mastery of See also:Turkish, Arabic, Syriac, Persian, Hebrew and See also:Malay.
In his chief work, Historia religionis veterum Persarum (1700), he made the first See also:attempt to correct from Oriental See also:sources the errors of the See also:Greek and See also:Roman historians who had described the See also:religion of the See also:ancient Persians. His other writings and See also:translations comprise Tabulae longitudinum et latitudinum stellarum fixarum ex observatione principis Ulugh Beighi (1665), to which his notes have given additional value; Quatuor evangelia et acta apostolorum lingua Malaica, caracteribus Europaeis (1677); Epistola de mensuris et ponderibus serum sive sinensium (1688), appended to See also:Bernard's De mensuris et ponderibus antiquis; See also:Abraham Peritsol itinera mundi (1691); and De ludis orientalibus libri II. (1694).
With the exception of the Historia religionis, which was republished by See also:Hunt and Costard in 176o, the writings of Hyde, including some unpublished See also:MSS., were collected and printed by Dr See also:- GREGORY
