The Title.--The title OF the Maccabees,

to the Palestinian martyrs in the perse-

to the AleXandrine Jews who suffered
for their faith at an earlier period. The
original term Maccabi has been various

II was formed from the combination of
the initial letters of the Hebrew sem

though the name Maccabees has gained
the widest currency, that of Asmonaeans
or Hasmonaeans, is the proper name of
the family. The origin of this name also
has been disputed; but the obvious deri-
walton from Chashmon, greatgrandfather
OF Mattathias, seems certainly correct.
