- Abstract
A preliminary examination of the problem of the attribution to Origen of the homilies on the Psalms, discovered by Marina Molin Pradel in the Greek Ms. 314 of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich. The importance of this discovery for the study of Origen as exegete, preacher and commentator of the Psalms cannot be overestimated. Apart from a few fragments figuring in the «catenae» the new homilies provide an authentic origenian flavour and important materials for comparison. It is already possible to point to significant parallels in other Origen's writings with regard, for instance, to the philological approach to the biblical text in the tradition of Alexandrian philology. In addition, several features typical of Origen's rhetorics as preacher are well attested in the new homilies. The historical and doctrinal aspects also confirm that we have to do with the milieu familiar to the great Alexandrian author
