Richard Pococke fu un prelato e antropologo inglese, noto soprattutto per i suoi scritti di viaggio e i suoi diari. Sebbene ricoprisse cariche episcopali in Irlanda, il suo contributo principale risiede nei suoi vivaci resoconti dei suoi viaggi e delle sue osservazioni. Le sue opere offrono uno sguardo affascinante sul mondo attraverso gli occhi di un viaggiatore e studioso. Gli scritti di Pococke sono apprezzati per il loro dettaglio e la loro testimonianza storica.
