In 2012 Dr. Marina Marin Pradel, an archivist at the Bayerische
Stattsbibliotek in Munich, discovered that a thick 12th-century
Byzantine manuscript, Codex Monacensis Graecus 314, contained
twenty-nine of Origen's Homilies on the Psalms, hitherto considered
lost. Lorenzo Perrone of the University of Bologna, an
internationally respected scholar of Origen, vouched for the
identification and immediately began work on the scholarly edition
that appeared in 2015 as the thirteenth volume of Origen's works in
the distinguished Griechische Christlichen Schrifsteller series. In
an introductory essay Perrone provided proof that the homilies are
genuine and demonstrated that they are, astonishingly, his last
known work. Live transcripts, these collection homilies constitute
our largest collection of actual Christian preaching from the
pre-Constantinian period. In these homilies, the final expression
of his mature thought, Origen displays, more fully than elsewhere,
his understanding of the church and of deification as the goal of
Christian life. They also give precious insights into his
understanding of the incarnation and of human nature. They are the
earliest example of early Christian interpretation of the Psalms,
works at the heart of Christian spirituality. Historians of
biblical interpretation will find in them the largest body of Old
Testament interpretation surviving in his own words, not filtered
through ancient translations into Latin that often failed to convey
his intense philological acumen. Among other things, they give us
new insights into the life of a third-century Greco-Roman
metropolis, into Christian/Jewish relations, and into Christian
worship. This translation, using the GCS as its basis, seeks to
convey, as faithfully as possible, Origen's own categories of
thought. An introduction and notes relate the homilies to the
theology and principles of interpretation in Origen's larger work
and to that work's intellectual context and legacy.
