Origenes: Werke mit deutscher Übersetzung / Die Homilien und Fragmente zum Hohelied
Alfons Fürst, Holger Strutwolf
Hieronymus claimed that Origen had even surpassed himself in his Commentary on the Song of Songs. With these words of praise, Hieronymus spread the good word about the Christian genius from Alexandria and, for this purpose, translated two of Origen’s homilies on the Biblical song of love into Latin. Besides Rufinus’s Latin translation, only a number of small fragments of this presentation of the Song of Songs have survived.
