概要
The accent mark that cost Junia her name and twelve centuries of fame
In this episode, we follow how one editorial choice altered a name in the Greek New Testament and shifted twelve centuries of reading. The episode traces the textual, manuscript, and cultural steps that changed Junia’s gender in the record and asks what was lost when that change took hold.
Person: Junia
Text: Romans 16:7
Date: 1928 (editorial change noted)
Period: First millennium consensus vs. medieval alterations
Scholar: Bernadette Brooten (1977)
- Paul greets Junia alongside Andronicus and calls them both “outstanding among the apostles,” noting Junia was “in Christ” before Paul.
- The oldest Greek manuscripts are majuscules with no accents; the name’s ending matches a common Roman female name found 250+ times in antiquity.
- Early commentators and native Greek speakers from the second to the eleventh century (Origen, John Chrysostom, Jerome, Theophylact) read Junia as a woman and praised her status.
- A document misattributed to Epiphanius and a 13th-14th century scholar Aegidius of Rome introduce a masculine reading that later scribes copied into medieval manuscripts.
- In 1928 an editorial accenting choice in the standard Greek New Testament finalized the masculine form in modern editions, shifting centuries of interpretation.
