- Abstract
The paper aims at validating some hypothesis set forth by previous studies, on the ground of texts already known. In particular: 1) do the new homelies add new elements to confirm the existence of daily liturgical congregations in Caesarea? If considered singularly, the texts are not very explicit, but taken together they strengthen the hypothesis that the initiated and catechumens of Caesarea did listen to the Word daily. 2) Who listened to the sermons? As in the other homelies, it was a mixed public composed of initiated and catechumens. 3) Which and how many lectures were done in the different types of meetings? Only from H67Ps I it is possible to conjecture the use of several lectures taken from different books of the Scripture. 4) Which new elements are there to establish a relative chronology of Origen's predication? References to other exegesises on Psalms abund, but there is only one clear reference to the commentary on Hosea, which permits to fix a terminus post quem. 5) When were the homilies preached? The Greek text of Rufin's translation, that made Nautin place Origen's preaching between 238-244, is much more generic, whereas a passage from H77Ps VIII places this predication after the Against Celsus. Such evidence leads to conclude that the extant homilies on Psalms cannot be part of a single series on this biblical book.
