Definition
A scholarly work (originally referring to religious texts) arranged in six parallel columns or versions, allowing side-by-side comparison of different texts.
Etymology
From Greek 'hexa-' (six) + 'aplous' (fold). The most famous hexapla was created by Origen, an early Christian scholar around 230 CE, arranging Hebrew and Greek biblical texts in six columns for textual comparison.
Kelly Says
The Hexapla was basically the ancient world's 'compare multiple sources' tool—Origen laid out six versions of the Bible side-by-side so readers could see exactly where translations differed, which is incredibly clever for someone 1,800 years ago.
