medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear List,
I am currently looking at a print (alas, slightly post-medieval)
depicting the three Magi before Herod, which is accompanied by an
inscription: "Convocat Herodes ad se reges sine mora. Deq_z recens
nato, multa rogavit eos. Math. 2". I've looked at every reference to
Herod in Matthew 2, but this phrase is not there. Can anyone explain
this? And might someone with better Latin than me know how to expand
the contraction "Deq_z "?
Many thanks,
Jim
