James Lamb (1599–1664), was an English orientalist.

Lamb was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford; M.A., 1620;
D.D. and prebendary of Westminster, 1660;
bequeathed many of his books to the library of Westminster Abbey; manuscripts by him on oriental subjects in the Bodleian.

Otherwise, the Google librarian seems not to have heard of him.

Anyone know what being an Orientalist meant.
