Idem dicendum, inquit Wolfius, de singolari, quam praedicat, descriptoris eruditiorie. Quid enim haec ad rem facit? Largiamur amanuensem illum fuisse eruditissimum et vel cum Aristarcho coni'erendum, quis praestabit, eundem examen libri instituisse, nec potins data Opera neglexisse, vel si fraudem animadverterit, aliis imponere noluisse, quo carius suas merces ven deret, aut cum de illins opusculi possessione sibi gra tularetur, praeconceptae de Origene auctore non ui mium induisisse Opinioni? Ad hoc imbellis ista quo que ratio est, qua libellum hunc ideo Origenis esse putare videtur, quod in eodem Codice conjunctus sit cum aliis operibus, quae sine controversia sunt illo rum scriptorum, quorum nomina prae se iernut.

Origen Adamantius was an early Christian scholar, theologian, and one of the most distinguished of the early fathers of the Christian Church. According to tradition, he is held to have been an Egyptian who taught in Alexandria, reviving the Catechetical School of Alexandria where Clement of Alexandria had taught.
Using his knowledge of Hebrew, he produced a corrected Septuagint. He wrote commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. In De principiis (On First Principles), he articulated one of the first philosophical expositions of Christian doctrine.
