Robert Huntington (1637-1701) was educated at Merton College, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1658, and of which he was elected a fellow in 1663. He became a chaplain to the Levant company at Aleppo in 1670, and remained in the East for over ten years. He acquired many manuscripts for Narcissus Marsh, Thomas Marshall, and for Bishop Fell, whilst also building up a great oriental collection of his own. See the Dictionary of National Biography for details.
