Image description

The Exilarch. The Exilarch, the title given to the head of the Babylonian Jews, held a position of honour, recognized by the Parthians, Persians and Arabs, and exercised various prerogatives. The title was hereditary in a family that traced its descent from the house of David. A contemporary account describes the installation ceremonies of the Exilarch in the tenth century and testifies to his importance. On certain occasions of state the Exilarch sat on a throne facing the Caliph. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
