AW: [SEELANGS] Coredemptrix

[Daniel Rancour-Laferriere]

Dear Rolf Fieguth,

Thank you (and thanks to all who replied to my message).  I guessed as much, but I wanted to be sure by consulting Slavic specialists.  A footnote in the book I am currently writing about the posthumous fate of Miriam/Mariam of Nazareth currently reads:

> The Latin coredemptrix (conredemptrix, corredemptrix) is normally rendered as corédemptrice (French), corredentora (Spanish), corredentrice (Italian), Miterlöserin (German).  In the Orthodox East the concept of a coredeemer is generally absent (Russian соискупительница [soiskupitel’nitsa] is a somewhat artificial-sounding rendition of the Roman Catholic mariological term), which is not to deny that Mary is a very significant and powerful deity for Orthodox believers.  Useful scholarly and theological sources on the corredemption by Mary include: Druwé 1949; Laurentin 1951 (a valuable historical survey); Alastruey 1963-1964 (1952), vol. II, 138-152; Graef 2009 (1963-1965), 371-378, 396-397; entry on “Redemption” in O’Carroll 2000 (1982), 305-309; Miravalle 1996; Calkins 1996; Hauke 2007.


Any corrections are welcome.

Thank you,

Daniel R-L

The correct Russian version of the exclusively Roman Catholic term of "coredemptrix" (quite a horror for other Christian denominations)  is  "soiskupitel'nica" (соискупительница).
Best wishes,

Is anyone aware of a Russian equivalent for one of the (controversial) English designations of the Virgin Mary, namely, "coredemptrix" (or the related term "mediatrix")?

Thank you.
