Biography of Saint Luke II.Authenticity of the Gospel III. Integrity of the Gospel IV. Purpose and Contents ... X. Saint Luke and Josephus I. BIOGRAPHY OF SAINT LUKE The name Lucas (Luke) is probably an abbreviation from Lucanus, like Annas from Ananus, Apollos from Apollonius, Artemas from Artemidorus, Demas from Demetrius, etc. (Schanz, "Evang. des heiligen Lucas", 1, 2; Lightfoot on "Col.", iv, 14; Plummer, "St. Luke", introd.) The word Lucas seems to have been unknown before the Christian Era; but Lucanus is common in inscriptions, and is found at the beginning and end of the Gospel in some Old Latin manuscripts (ibid.). It is generally held that St. Luke was a native of Antioch. Eusebius (Hist. Eccl. III, iv, 6) has: Loukas de to men genos on ton ap Antiocheias, ten episteuen iatros, ta pleista suggegonos to Paulo, kai rots laipois de ou parergos ton apostolon homilnkos "Lucas vero domo Antiochenus, arte medicus, qui et cum Paulo diu conjunctissime vixit, et cum reliquis Apostolis studiose versatus est."

Mathematics Pronunciation Guide A Megametamathematical Guide for Proper American English Pronunciation of Terms and Names, for the Diacritally Challenged This guide includes most mathematicians and mathematical terms that may been encountered in high school and the first two years of college. Proper names are generally pronounced as in the original language. Some entries are obscure and may be useful only in a game of mathematical trivia, e. g. d'Alembert's mother, the name of the line in a fraction, or who shot Galois. I have not had the time to include most definitions or accomplishments. The curious person may try searching the internet for such information. However I have given a few, they are indicated with Move the curser to the symbol and wait a second. D ates include B.C. or A.D. only if the choice is not obvious from the context. The Guide is not complete, I will be adding more pronunciations and entries as time permits. (I did not give up my day job.) (The red dates and purple pronunciations are not links.)

ZENODORUS D’Athènes Vers 200 – vers 140 av J.C. On ne sait que peu de choses sur la vie de Zénodorus. Le peu d’éléments provient d’une traduction arabe de l’œuvre de Dioclès . Au cours d’un de ses séjours en Arcadie, Zénodorus rencontra Dioclès et lui demanda s’il serait en mesure de concevoir un miroir dont la surface serait telle qu’elle concentrerait les rayons du Soleil en un seul point afin qu’ils puissent éventuellement allumer un feu. D’autres sources font aussi référence à un travail perdu de Zénodorus sur les figures isométriques. Une récente découverte, dans le site d’Herculanum, d’un papyrus écrit par un certain Philomidès fait référence à un Zénodorus, ami de l’auteur, qui semble bien être le même personnage que le mathématicien dont il est ici question et qui aurait accompli au moins deux séjours à Athènes. En dépit de la perte de ses écrits, on connaît quelques éléments des travaux de Zénodorus grâce aux références qu’en fait Théon d’Alexandrie. Dans « Les figures Isométriques », Zénodorus s’appuyait sur les travaux d’
