Talk:Brotherhood of St. Mark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 "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)
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?
