\DeclareFixedFootnote{\fnMaria}{MARIA: 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 MARIA throughout (1:16, 1:18) — the form also used elsewhere in the NT
|
|
for other women bearing the name (Mary 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 MARIA does not draw on it in the same way, at
|
|
least not by name alone.
