Il greco di un cristiano: il caso di Origene. Note sintattiche e stilistiche in margine a un passo origeniano (Homilia II in psalmum LXXVI)
No full textLanguage and style of many ancient Christian authors have received over time, from secondary literature, an attention that is certainly too little overall. It is therefore not surprising that an author such as Origen, rightly considered the noble father of Christian biblical exegesis, has received so little attention over the centuries with regard to the constitutive linguistic structures of his writings. Through an essay of literary ana- lysis – morphosyntactic and stylistic – of a recently discovered Origenian text (Homilia II in Psalmum LXXVI, 1), it can be said that our author really seems to have fully as- similated the essence of the methods of rhetoric
Variazioni sul tema del “sostituzionismo” in età protocristiana: lo Pseudo-Barnaba
No full textStarting from a controversial passage of the ‘Epistle of Barnabas’ (IV,6), this paper aims at demonstrating: a) that the reading offered by Codex Sinaiticus (א) is supported by morphology and syntax, as well as by the historical context the ‘Letter of Barnabas’ comes from; b) that the dispute about the 'covenant' regards Judaism, better then judaizing Christians
IL QUADRO E LA CORNICE: I TESTIMONIA BIBLICI NELLA TRADUZIONE DI RUFINO DELLE OMELIE ORIGENIANE SUL SALMO 36
No full textThis contribution aims at examining the Rufinian translation of Origen’s Homiliae in psal- mum 36, recently rediscovered in cod. Mon. Gr. 314. For this purpose an attempt is made to shed light on a contextual element which seems important for a global evaluation of the Rufinus’ work, that is the biblical witnesses adduced, which, in a comparison between Greek original and Latin translation, present many additions and subtractions. The biblical passages inserted by Rufinus and missing in Origen are several, as are those present in the original and missing in the translation. In this paper we limit ourselves to an examination of Pauline texts added by Rufinus which are also mentioned in his other works
L’antigiudaismo neLL’A Diogneto. Alcune riflessioni
No full textThis article aims at focusing on the passages of the Ad Diognetum that attack some ele-ments of Judaism. From an examination of these texts and from a comparison with Chri-stian apologetics, it appears that the topic present in the Ad Diognetum is largely indebted to collections of anti-Jewish texts, previously put together and also used by pagan au-thors, like Celsus
LA Parrhesia in Origene: in margine alle 'nuove Omelie sui Salmi'
No full textThis contribution examines some passages (H15Ps I,2; H67Ps I,2) of the recently discovered “New homilies” on the Psalms – which can certainly be considered of Origen – in relation to the theme of παρρησία. While, in the first case, the oc- currence of the term is part of a long quotation from the Acts of the Apostles, in the second we are faced with a large development regarding the attitude of man towards God, and, therefore, prayer
UN POETA PER TUTTE LE STAGIONI. USI E RIUSI D’UN VERSO LUCREZIANO
No full textA Lucretian verse (1.304: tangere enim et tangi nisi corpus nulla potest res), located in the context of the exposition of the atomistic doctrine as the basis of matter, had a history of interpretation that lasted several centuries, involving classical and Christian authors. This denies that Lucretius, almost the only intermediary of Epicurean thought for Latin writers, must still be considered an author disliked by Christian authors, as a detailed examination can only confirm
Καθαρός e termini corradicali nel Contra Celsum di Origene
No full textNella vasta e varia congerie delle opere origeniane giunte fino a noi, καθαρός e corradicali riflettono una notevole varietà di usi e di relative sfumature semantiche, legate ai diversi contesti in cui i lemmi sono inseriti. Ciò non stupisce, trattandosi di una terminologia di grande rilievo, in riferimento tanto alla cultura religiosa del giudaismo, quanto a quella ellenistico-romana. Questi, infatti, sono i due poli principali intorno ai quali ruota la discussione – avvenuta a posteriori, come si è detto – riguardante le opinioni a suo tempo formulate da Celso a proposito dei cristiani. Nel complesso, si può affermare che il Contro Celso rappresenta una sorta di grande laboratorio, in cui idee e concetti religiosi consolidati si mescolano ad altri, ancora, per così dire allo stato fluido; il contributo che quest’opera offre, sotto il profilo storico-religioso e storico-teologico, può certamente dirsi inestimabile
Variazioni sul tema del 'sostituzionismo'

Osservazioni su di un passo di I Petri in Origene
No full text1Pietro 1,18-19 risulta essere un testo di notevole importanza nell'esegesi origeniana, per quanto attiene in particolare al problema della 'redenzione' mediante 'il sangue prezioso' di Cristo. Tale pericope rivela un'importante presenza nelle opere di Origene, comprese le 29 'Omelie sui Salmi' recentemente scoperte in un codice di Monaco di Baviera ed edite (2015) nei GCS
Origen’s Alexandrian Legacy: Some News
No full textOrigen has in fact introduced the philological-grammatical method, well established in Hellenistic-Roman literary culture, to the analysis of biblical texts and the scrutiny of their manuscripts. Philology appears in a largely positive light, but it has a dark side, as it can be abused. The philological study of biblical texts is such that it often leaves a ‘hermeneutical space’ for readers, without forcing them to a single interpretation. Scriptural study is a way to understand the existence and presence of God, but it is not the only way
