Excerpt from Origenis Selectorum in Psalmos, Vol. 3: Selecta in Threnos, Fragmenta Ex Commentariis in Proverbia Salomonis Atque in Isaiam, Item Homiliae in Isaiam Et Fragmentum Graecum Ex Ejusdem Commentariis in Oseam
Praeter duas hasce oratiunculas, quae solac hodie supersnnt, Cassiodorus institntt. Cap. Il. Quatuor commemorat Adamantii nostri homilias in Iibrum primum Regum, unam in secundum, item alteram pro lixam in Iibrum secundum Paralipomenon, et ibidem cap. VI. Ait se in Esdrae libris dnobns graeco ser... mone singulas homilias expositas Origenis invcnisse, quae Bellatoris labore translatae sunt. Ipsemet Ori genes homilia tertia in Jesum Nave monet, se ali quando in quadam ecclesia disputasse de duabus mere tricibus, de quibus scriptum est in tertio libro Regum. Verum injuria temporum haec omnia perierunt, nisi forte illorum pars fuerint paucula illa fragmenta, quae e Catenis Graecis Regiis ernit Combefisius, in cujus schedis asservantur, unde ea nos in hanc editionem mostram transferimus.

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.
