(Redirected from Sir Thomas Adams Professor of Arabic) Title used at Cambridge University

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.

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