Translations of some more catena fragments from the work of Origen on Ezekiel have arrived.\u00a0 These are useful and help get a complete picture.<\/p>\n
The second is a translation of Delarue’s introduction where he discusses what he does.\u00a0 It’s very interesting!\u00a0 These old introductions are often full of useful info.\u00a0 Delarue frankly confesses that in many cases he has no certain idea of whether the material is by Origen or not!\u00a0 He writes:<\/p>\n
\nThe trustworthiness of these catenae<\/em>, however, is very questionable.\u00a0 For in them the names of the writers from whose fragments they have been patched together are so very often mixed up and confused that those which one catena<\/em> ascribes to Origen are attributed in another catena <\/em>to Didymus or Eusebius or Theodoret or some other interpreter.\u00a0 Add to this the fact that even when the unanimous consent of the catenae<\/em> ascribes a certain fragment to Origen, I have often discovered it belongs to Eusebius or Theodoret or to some other writer, on the basis of the published commentaries of these Fathers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He goes on to discuss his approach.\u00a0 We will definitely have to include this preface somehow in the book.<\/p>\n
But … the more work I do with catenae, the more evident it becomes to me that we need new modern editions, not of extracts from catenae, but of catenae themselves.\u00a0 They are compositions, and should be edited as such, a stemma established, and so forth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
