Polyglot
Polyglotte ( diglotte for two languages) is a work that contains the same content in several languages. This term is mainly used for multilingual editions of the Bible in which several Bible translations have been compiled for text criticism and printed in parallel columns.
Famous polyglots include:
- The Complutensic Polyglot (1514–1517) ( Hebrew , Greek , Aramaic, and Latin )
- The Antwerp Polyglot (1568–1572) (next to the Complutensic Polyglot a Syrian translation)
- The Paris Polyglot (1629–1645) (also some Samaritan and Arabic texts)
- The London Polyglot (1655–1657) (additional Arabic and Persian Bible translations)
