Hexaglot

/ˈhɛksəɡlɒt/ noun

Definition

A book or text written in six different languages, typically arranged in parallel columns for comparison.

Etymology

From Greek 'hex-' (six) and 'glotta' (tongue/language). The term was modeled after 'polyglot' and emerged in scholarly contexts during the 17th century to describe multilingual biblical and classical texts.

Kelly Says

The most famous hexaglot is the Complutensian Polyglot Bible (1517-1522), which printed six versions of scripture side-by-side—an incredible feat before printing technology matured, allowing scholars to spot translation differences immediately.
