	~~The '''Magi''' were, according to the Gospel of Matthew, a group of wise men who came from the East to pay homage to the infant [[Jesus of Nazareth\|Jesus]] when he was born at [[Bethlehem]].~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	~~The episode of the [[Adoration of the Magi]] is narrated only in the Gospel of Matthew.~~

	Later Christian tradition embellished the episode, and a series of legends began to flourish about the identity and whereabouts of the "three" Magi, who were described as "kings" coming from the East. By the 5th-6th century, Melchior (Melkon), Gaspar (Jaspar), and Balthasar emerged among the most popular characters in the Gospel.

	According to the 12th-century ''Vita Eustorgi'', the bishop of Milan St. Eustorgius obtained permission from the Emperor to transfer to Milan the remains of the three Magi, which in the fourth century had been "discovered" by St. [[Helena]] and taken to the Church of St. Sofia in Constantinople. In 1164 Milan was looted by Federico Barbarossa and the remains of the Magi was transferred to the Cathedral of Cologne where they are still preserved.

	Around 1370 Johannes of Hildesheim in his ''Historia Trium Regum'' collected all traditions about the [[Magi]] into a long and detailed narrative, which became standard in Western Christianity. The work enjoyed great popularity and was translated into German, Dutch, French, English and Danish. At the end of the 15th century, the ''Historia de gestis trium regum'' would be among the first printed books--Mainz [Germany]: Johann Guldenschaiff, 1477 [1478, 1486]; Cologne [Germany]: Bartholomaeus de Unkel, 1481; Modena [Italy]: Dominicus Richizola, 1490; and in English translation, London [England]: Wynkyn de Worde, 1499.
