Everything about Hexapla totally explained
Hexapla (
Gr. for "sixfold") is the term for an edition of the
Bible in six versions. Especially it applies to the edition of the
Old Testament compiled by
Origen, which placed side by side:
- Hebrew
- Hebrew transliterated into Greek characters
- Aquila of Sinope
- Symmachus the Ebionite
- Septuagint
- Theodotion
The original work is now lost, but the fragments have been collected in several editions, for example that of
Frederick Field (1875).
The fragments are now being re-edited (with additional materials discovered since Field's edition) by an international group of
Septuagint scholars. This work is being carried out as The Hexapla Project
(External Link
) under the auspices of the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies
(External Link), and directed by Peter J. Gentry (
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary), Alison G. Salvesen (
Oxford University), and Bas ter Haar Romeny (
Leiden University).
