词条 | Salome (Gospel of James) |
释义 |
Salome appears in the apocryphal Gospel known as the Gospel of James as an associate of the unnamed midwife at the Nativity of Jesus, and is regularly depicted with the midwife in Eastern Orthodox icons of the Nativity of Jesus, though she has long vanished from most Western depictions.[1] Salome herself is clearly distinguished from "the midwife" in this infancy gospel attributed to James the Just, also known as the Protevangelion of James. The passage in Chapter XIX and XX reads, in the edition and translation by M. R. James:
J. R. Porter writes that the above passage is "clearly an adaptation of the episode of Doubting Thomas."[3] There are also other versions of the story in various texts. Greek paintings, as in the illustration here, often labelled the midwife as "Emea" (ΗΜΕΑ, ἡ μαῖα, "the midwife"), and in the West this was sometimes taken to be her name, rather than her job. That Salome is the first, after the midwife, to bear witness to the birth and to recognize Jesus as the Christ, are circumstances that tend to connect her with Salome the disciple. By the High Middle Ages this Salome was often identified with Mary Salome in the West, and therefore regarded as the believing midwife.[4] Notes1. ^Schiller, pp.63-65 2. ^earlychristianwritings.com, From "The Apocryphal New Testament", M.R. James-Translation and Notes, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1924, accessed 25 February 2015. Of the text, James says "There is as yet no really critical edition of the text, in which all manuscripts and versions are made use of. I follow Tischendorf's in the main." 3. ^{{cite book |title= The Lost Bible | author1-first= J.
