About this title

Synopsis

A Discourse Concerning the Confusion of Languages at Babel, by William Wotton, explores the biblical account of the Tower of Babel and the subsequent diversification of human languages. Wotton argues that the confusion of languages was a miraculous event, evidenced by the essential differences between them. This assertion is presented in contrast to the views of Mons. Le Clerc and others. The book includes an inquiry into the nature of the primitive language that existed before the events at Babel.

Originally published in 1730, this work offers insights into early 18th-century theological and linguistic thought. It remains relevant to scholars and readers interested in the history of linguistics, biblical interpretation, and the intellectual debates surrounding the origins of language. Wotton's discourse provides a unique perspective on the relationship between divine intervention and human communication.
