Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Universal Name: Or One Hundred Songs to Mary Selected There are over fifty different forms of the name of Mary in use in Europe; many of these are derived from the Hebrew word Miriam, which was the real name, of she whom we call Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Greeks and Latins translated it Maria, the French Marie; the English alone translated it Mary. The Slavonic races have such derivatives as Marika. In western Europe we have the variations of Marion, Marietta, &c.; the returning Crusaders brought the name to Spain, France and Great Britain. It found a cordial reception, and has been for centuries the most popular name in Christendom, including the United States. Among the Latin races it is often bestowed on male children. There have been more poems written, addressed to Mary, than any other name known to literature. Of the few here collected we have given the name of the author whenever that was known, but very many of the songs, poems and ballads have been long floating round the world without any known parentage; any deficiency in this respect we should be happy to supply in a future edition if the authorship can be authenticated.
