  Reynold Alleyne Nicholson, (1868-1945) English orientalist who exercised a lasting influence on Islāmic studies.
  
  Educated at Aberdeen University and the University of Cambridge, Nicholson was lecturer in Persian (1902-26) and Sir Thomas Adams professor of Arabic (1926-33) at Cambridge. He was a leading scholar in Islāmic literature and mysticism.
  
  His A Literary History of the Arabs (1907) remains a standard work on that subject in English; while his many text editions and translations of Ṣūfī writings, culminating in his eight-volume Mathnawi of Jalalu'ddin Rumi (1925-40), eminently advanced the study of Muslim mystics. He combined exact scholarship with notable literary gifts; some of his versions of Arabic and Persian poetry entitle him to be considered a poet in his own right. His profound understanding of Islām and of the Muslim peoples was the more remarkable in that he never traveled outside Europe. A shy and retiring man, he proved himself an inspiring teacher and an original thinker.
