Some very bizarre explanations had been propounded before the time of Goeths, who was himself farced to own to the musician Zelter in a letter of Novem. ber 20,1820: “1 eannot give any de finite answer to the question “Whence comes the name Mephistopheles? ” According to one theory It was a hybrid Graeco-Hebrale formation of mephis and tophel (the liar); accord ing to another its etymology was en tirely Greek—very dublous Greek-- maphowtophiios, “he who does not love ® light” Though this derivation is was the original form of the name, the second vowel being replaced by "I" at firpt in England, whence it was taken Into the popular German mysteries. In the last number of the “Goethe Jahrbuch” Herr Oelhke gives an en tirely novel derivation, which, If tar fetched, has at least the merit of orig inality.
