The article focuses on the use of the adjective «nomomathes» in reference to Mary, the mother of Jesus. After a preliminary contextualization of the term both in Greek inscriptions from the Jewish diaspora in the West (2nd - 4th centuries CE) and in contemporary Christian literature, I analyze its occurrences and interpretation in Origen’s Homilies on Luke as well as in their Latin translation by Jerome and in the latter’s Homily on the Nativity of the Lord. The evolution of the characterization of Mary as a reader, interpreter, and exegete of the Scriptures is thus highlighted.

Abstract
The article focuses on the use of the adjective «nomomathes» in reference to Mary, the mother of Jesus. After a preliminary contextualization of the term both in Greek inscriptions from the Jewish diaspora in the West (2nd - 4th centuries CE) and in contemporary Christian literature, I analyze its occurrences and interpretation in Origen’s Homilies on Luke as well as in their Latin translation by Jerome and in the latter’s Homily on the Nativity of the Lord. The evolution of the characterization of Mary as a reader, interpreter, and exegete of the Scriptures is thus highlighted.
