After the Restoration, Pococke's political and financial troubles ended, but the reception of his "magnum opus"a complete edition of the Arabic history of Bar-Hebraeus ("Greg. Abulfaragii historia compendiosa dynastiarum"), which he dedicated to the king in 1663showed that the new order of things was not very favourable to scholarship. After this his most important works were a "Lexicon heptaglotton" (1669) and English commentaries on "Micah" (1677), "Malachi" (1677), "Hosea" (1685) and "Joel" (1691). An Arabic translation of Grotius's "De veritate", which appeared in 1660, may also be mentioned as a proof of Pococke's interest in the propagation of Christianity in the East, as is his later Arabic translation of the Book of Common Prayer in 1674. Pococke had a long-standing interest in the subject, which he had talked over with Grotius at Paris on his way back from Constantinople.
