Beschreibung
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 Origens homilies on the Biblical song of love into Latin. Besides Rufinuss Latin translation, only a number of small fragments of this presentation of the Song of Songs have survived.
