Talk:Brotherhood of Saint Mark

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."

 * However, "Marx brothers" seems like a fair enough translation of "Marxbr&uuml;der", if you choose not to translate "Marx", which as a spelling for "Mark's" is just as uncommon in German as in English. dab (&#5839;) 15:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

There used to be an captain of st. mark in the Venice military does that have an connection ?

Are the Marxbruder still in existence? If not, is there any record of when the Brotherhood disbanded?
 * no; they somehow faded out in the early 17th century. dab (𒁳) 07:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * St. Marcus was/is the cities-saint of Venice.--139.30.128.27 (talk) 16:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

about the Lux/Lucas-Brothers
This is my transcript, taken from: Wassmannsdorff, Karl: Sechs Fechtschulen: (d.i. Schau- und Preisfechten) der Marxbrüder und Federfechter aus den Jahren 1573-1614 […]. Heidelberg 1870.

nach 1576 [über die Lucasbrüder] [S.8/ Fascikel 27 der Aktenstücke über die Marxbrüder im Archiv der Stadt Frankfurt a. M.] Ein Lucas Bruder ist ein M[eiste]r. aus denen Marc[us] oder Veyths fechtern, so sich vndernimet gegen alle vnd jede die Schuhl zu behaupten; würdt Er aber bluthrüstig gemachet, so ist Er ab, vnd die übrige theylen das von denen Zuschauwern erlöszete geldt. [...]

My translation:

after 1576 [page 8/ fascicle 27 from the Acta about the Marxbrüder at the archive of the city of Frankfurt am Main] A Lucas bruder[brother] is a M[aste]r. coming form the Marc[us] or the Vitus-fencers[/fighters], who dares[/has taken upon himself] to prevail against everybody and any [existing/teaching] School; in case He is brought to bleed [or: is beeing severely injured during a fight], so He is off, and the others[/remaining parties/schools] shall divide the wagered money [the wage/ le gage de bataille/ die Wette] which has been collected from the spectators, among them. [...]

I hope my `Jerry´-english is not too bad ;)--139.30.128.27 (talk) 16:21, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
