Magi in St
Several of the fancies that legend has attached to the brief story of the
Magi in St. Matthew, such as the royal dignity of the persons; their
location, now in Arabia, now (as here) at Saba in Persia, and again (as in
Hayton and the Catalan Map) in Tarsia or Eastern Turkestan; the notion
that one of them was a Negro, and so on, probably grew out of the
arbitrary application of passages in the Old Testament, such as: ‘_Venient
legati ex Aegypto_: AETHIOPIA _praevenit manus ejus Deo_’ (Ps. lxviii.
31). This produced the Negro who usually is painted as one of the Three.
‘_Reges_ THARSIS _et Insulae munera offerent: Reges_ ARABUM _et_ SABA
_dona adducent_’ (lxxii. 10). This made the Three into Kings, and fixed
them in Tarsia, Arabia, and Sava. ‘_Mundatio Camelorum operiet te,
dromedarii Madian et_ EPHA: _omnes de_ SABA _venient aurum et thus
deferentes et laudem Domino annunciantes_’ (Is. lx. 6). Here were Ava and
Sava coupled, as well as the gold and frankincense.
