Babel Online Exhibition
Delve into the rich linguistic diversity of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Library’s collections in our latest online exhibition.
In Babel: Arabic, Hebrew, and Languages of the Levant we take you on a journey across languages and cultures—highlighting a spectacular Qu’ran, intricately printed polyglot Bibles, and ancient texts written in the distinctive Syriac script. At the same time, we reflect on the history of language learning at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, introducing you to the life and work of D. S. Margoliouth (1858–1940)—one of the college’s most famous polyglots.
This exhibition is based on a physical exhibition of the same name, first held on 13 November 2025 in 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, Oxford to accompany the Margoliouth Symposium organised by Dr Christian C. Sahner.
