Adriaan Reland (1676 – 1718) was a Dutch Orientalist, cartographer and philologist.
Reland, through compiling Arabic texts, completed De religione Mohammedica libri duo in 1705. This work, extended in 1717, was considered the first objective survey of Islamic beliefs and practices.
It quickly became a reference work throughout Europe and was translated into Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish.
Reland also extensively researched Middle Eastern locations and biblical geography, taking interest in Palestine. He published Antiquitates Sacrae veterum Hebraeorum (1708) and Palaestina ex monumentis veteribus illustrata (1714), in which he described and mapped the biblical peoples , and ancient geography of Palestine.
