The Wisdom of Solomon and the Byzantine Reception of Origen (English and Greek Edition)

This is a critical edition of a newly discovered Greek manuscript: a full commentary from Codex 199, Metochion of the Holy Sepulchre, Constantinople, entitled ‘Wisdom of Solomon―an interpretation of Solomon’s Book of Wisdom, by Origen, as they say’.

The book includes critical apparatus, commentary, and English translation.The Introduction acquaints readers with the text, as well as its late Byzantine context.

In the manuscript both the Biblical text (quoted lemma after lemma) and the commentary are presented in full, which makes the document a valuable one for Old Testament scholars, since it contains not only the full commentary, but also the entire text of the Book of Wisdom, which at points has some interesting variations from all extant codices of the Septuagint.
