\DeclareFixedFootnote{\fnMary}{\Mary: This is the name for the mother of \Iesous used in \Matthew's gospel.
|
|
Where Luke's infancy narrative gives \Mariam, Matthew's gives
|
|
the more Hellenized \Mary throughout (1:16, 1:18) — the form also used elsewhere in the NT
|
|
for other women bearing the name (\Mary the \Magdalene, \Mary of Bethany, and others),
|
|
and the form that passed into Latin and thence into English "Mary."
|
|
The FNT preserves this distinction rather than harmonizing the two Gospels to a single spelling:
|
|
Luke's \Mariam carries the LXX echo of the prophetess directly;
|
|
Matthew's \Mary does not draw on it in the same way,
|
|
at least not by name alone. %TODO
