On Holy Thursday of this year, 29 lost homilies of Origen were discovered. Origen (184-253AD) was an Alexandrian theologian and scholar from the very early Christian church. Apparently, they were discovered in an 11th century Greek manuscript in Germany. Experts will be translating the homilies this summer, in the hopes of having full translations available to scholars in the very near future.
The entire codex is photographed here.
What a treasure! Can't wait to read the translations when they become available!
