Hexapla

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition

Hexapla [Gr.,=sixfold], polyglot edition of the Hebrew Bible prepared by Origen (c.185-c.255). It was mainly in six columns—a Hebrew text (probably the Masoretic), a Greek transliteration of it, and four Greek versions (those of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, and a revised version of the Septuagint). For certain sections of the Hebrew text, three further Greek versions were added. Some fragments survive. See Polyglot Bible .
