13. Harpocrates, drawing of a sculpture, formerly Tivoli, Villa Adriana, now Romę, Musei
Capitolini (after K. Langedijk, „Silentium", Het Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek, 1964)

the Past Perfect into the Futurę form. O. Perler insists that undoubtedly the births of Samuel
and John the Baptist were models for the story of the miraculous birth of Mary. These two
archetypal eonceptions were miraculous because of the respective mothers' barrenness. Anne
also conceived in a miraculous way, but here the degree of miracle is higher, because the pattern
was given by the virginal conception of Mary, as it was worded in the Gospel (Lukę I, 26 sq) or
reworded in the apocryphal Protoevangelium Jacobi (IX—XIII). The apocryphal text combines
the first part of the AngeFs annunciation to Anne taken from the story of Zachariah (Lukę I, 13)
and the latter part of the Annunciation to Mary (Lukę I, 37).
