Second printing of the first edition of the complete works of Origen in Latin (first 1512), in handsome contemporary German bindings. The two fine blind stamped floral rolls on the covers, one with rosettes and foliage on a stem, the other with flowers surrounded by tendrils, are identical to those employed in the workshop of the Augustine monastery of Nuremberg (Augustinerkloster 2. Gruppe, Kyriss K019; see EBDB rolls n. r000168 and r000185), active 1501-1526. This edition was compiled by the theologian Jacques Merlin (1480-1541), who also edited it. Origen of Alexandria, also known as Origenes Adamantius (c.185-254), is regarded as the most important theologian and biblical scholar of the early church. His exegetical work laid the foundations of the scientific criticism of the Old and New Testaments, and he is famous for his 'Hexapla', an edition of the Bible comparing six different versions of the Hebrew and Greek tradition. An extremely prolific writer and commentator, Origen wrote about 2,000 treatises in all the branches of theology. Books 1, 2 and 3 comprehend the entire collection of his homilies, particularly important are those on Genesis and the Psalms, and his commentaries on St. John and on the Song of Songs. Origen's most discussed and influential works are in Book 4. These are 'Contra Celsum', an apologetic work defending orthodox Christianity against the attacks of the pagan philosopher Celsus, and 'De Principiis', the first systematic exposition of Christian theology. Some of Origen's most radical ideas (such as the incorporeal nature of God, or the pre-existence of souls) generated major theological controversies in the V and VI centuries, and were rejected as heretic by the Church. Remarkably, Book 4 contains 'Apology of Pamphilus for Origen', written by the scholar Pamphilus of Caesarea in defence of Origen's views and translated by Tyrannius Rufinus (344-411). Rufinus is Origen's most important translator, and this collection concludes with his "On the Falsification of the Books of Origen" an appendix to the translation of Pamphilius, in which he claims that Origen's writings had suffered interpolations by heretics. Merlin also wrote an 'Apology for Origen' (included in Book 3): this apology, which justified some of the errors imputed to Origen, caused his condemnation by the Paris Faculty of Theology in 1522.

An appealing collection of influential biblical commentaries, including the first editions of Origen's rare homiletic exegesis on the Pentateuch, the Books of Joshua, and Judges and St Paul's letter to the Romans, all in the Latin translations of St. Jerome. Origenes Adamantius (c.185 c.254) was the most prominent textual critic of the Bible of the early Church as well as an authoritative and prolific commentator. He exerted great influence especially over Eusebius and Jerome, though some of his radical ideas (i.e. the final redemption of all creatures and their ultimate reconciliation with God) prevented him from being regarded as a Church Father. Together with the pioneering edition of the Bible comparing six different versions of the Hebrew and Greek tradition (Hexapla), the numerous homilies Origenes preached in Caesarea represent his most relevant contribution to early Christian Biblical scholarship. The central work bound in this volume is the third edition of Thomas Aquinas' commentary on St. John's gospel, first published in Rome in 1470. That this collection was used by contemporary scholars is proved by the numerous annotations of two German hands, reporting mainly biblical references. The Aldine edition of Origenes marks an important turning point in the history of this famous press. In its anonymous preface to the reader, the role taken by Andrea Torresani, Aldus's father-in-law and business partner, was finally acknowledged in print: men of letters were said to be indebted equally to Andrea's generosity as an entrepreneur and to Aldus's outstanding skill as a humanist printer. 1) BM STC It., 477; Adams, O 291; Brunet, IV, 228 ('volume rare'); Graesse, V, 48; Renouard, 44:11. 2) Not in BM STC It. or Adams.
