The Munich manuscript constitutes the major discovery on Origen, the greatest interpreter of the Bible in Christianity, since the find of the Tura papyri in 1941. The 29 homilies throw new light on Origen's personality and thought, and on the situation of the Church in the third century CE.
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.
