This study, which focuses on the story of the Babel Tower, looks at the first translations of this text (12th and 13th centuries). After highlighting the main features of the exegesis of this passage, it focuses on an original translation: the genesis of Evrat (late 19th century). How does this text build the value of French when the common interpretation of the babelic narrative is part of the establishment of a language hierarchy?
