New text of Origen's come to light Origen's Commentary on Mathew is perhaps his latest work, and reference to this was never made by his detractors. Instead, like modern scholars, they always pointed the finger at a garbled, untrustworthy, and heavily interpolated edition of his De Principiis, in order to cheerfully show how much of a 'heretic' Origen was. While Erich Klostermann, in 1941, compiled a series of fragments after having consulted twenty-four codices, he missed Sabaiticus 232, which though is he most important of all, because it contains not only 'passages' but also unique flowing text from that commentary, which (as the author demonstrates) is pretty later than the Contra Celsum. Professor Panayiotis Tzamalikos once again demonstrates that unless the correlations of Origen's work to both Greek philosophy and subsequent Patristic literature are perused, it is impossible to recognise the real Origen. Considering the widespread and multi-faced miscomprehension (ancient and modern alike) of Origen's thought, Professor Tzamalikos, by means of his commentary on this Greek text, demonstrates once again that this is a terra still calling for informed and unbiased exploration.
