Talk:Brotherhood of Saint Mark

message: Is this article misnamed? "Marx brothers" appears to be a bastardized half-translation of the German "Marxbruder." Most English-language sources (that are not Wikipedia clones), including those cited in the article, refer to this group as "The Brotherhood of St. Mark."

replies: text: However, "Marx brothers" seems like a fair enough translation of "Marxbrüder", if you choose not to translate "Marx", which as a spelling for "Mark's" is just as uncommon in German as in English. dab (ᛏ) 15:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

after 1576
[page 8/ fascicle 27 from the Acta about the Marxbrüder at the archive of the city of Frankfurt am Main]
