in reference to which it read: "Eusebio, Pedro, Catalina. . . ." Explanation: In the Spanish colonies, such as Mexico and the Philippines, the names of infants were picked at baptism from the "calendario" or "almanaque," and during the colonial periods the friars were quite strict about following the names in this book. What the text says is that the name of the child was not taken from the almanaque despite the fact that these names (Eusebio, Pedro, Catalina, et al.) appeared therein and could have been chosen for the child's name. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-02-20 08:54:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The child's name was that of its father, based on local tradition where the first-born gets its father's name, instead of following the list of names (the names of saints) found in the calendar. |

peer agreement (net): +2The name Pedro may have been du to the day of his birth, which according to the calendar was de Explanation: The name Pedro may have been due to the day of his birth, which according to the calendar was dedicated to saints: Eusebio, Pedro & Catalina. Depending on your target audience (for example the US) they may not be aware that roman catholics assign days to each saint, so I would perhaps offer a short explanation, depending on the target audience. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-02-20 09:02:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Carol, Yes, they are saying he was named after his father but that is a second phrase for which no help was requested, the phrase for which help was requested, translates as I have indicated, adding the second sentence would leave: The name Pedro may have been due to the day of his birth, which according to the calendar was dedicated to saints: Eusebio, Pedro & Catalina. But in fact, he was baptised with the name of his father, not ........... So I fail to see your objection to my translation. |
