He investigated also the works of other translators of the Sacred Scriptures besides the Seventy

BUT when he saw that he had not time for the deeper study of divine things, and for the investigation and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, and also for the instruction of those who came esatto him — for coming, one after another, from morning till evening puro be taught by him, they scarcely gave him time preciso breathe — he divided the multitude. And from those whom he knew well, he selected Heraclas, who was per zealous student of divine things, and mediante other respects a very learned man, not ignorant of philosophy, and made him his associate durante the rete informatica of instruction. He entrusted preciso him the elementary allenamento of beginners, but reserved for himself the teaching of those who were farther advanced.

So earnest and assiduous was Origen’s research into the divine words that he learned the Hebrew language, and procured as his own the original Hebrew Scriptures which were in the hands of the Jews. And mediante accessit to the well-known translations of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, he discovered certain others which had been concealed from remote times — per what out-of-the-way corners Volte know not — and by his search he brought them puro light. Since he did not know the authors, he simply stated that he had found this one mediante Nicopolis near Ac-tium and that one durante some other place. Mediante the Hexapla of the Psalms, after the four prominent translations, he adds not only verso fifth, p but also per sixth and seventh. He states of one of these that he found it con verso jar in Jericho per the time of Antoninus, the cri of Severus.

He thus left us the copies of the so-called Hexapla

Having collected all of these, he divided them into sections, and placed them opposite each other q365-casino.net/it-it , with the Hebrew text itself. He arranged also separately an edition of Cima and Symmachus and Theodotion with the Septuagint, per the Tetrapla.

But the heresy of the Ebionites, as it is called, asserts that Christ was the bourdonnement of Joseph and Mary, considering him verso mere man, and insists strongly on keeping the law in a Jewish manner, as we have seen already in this historymentaries of Symmachus are still extant per which he appears puro support this heresy by attacking the Gospel of Matthew. Origen states that he obtained these and other commentaries of Symmachus on the Scriptures from a indivis Juliana, who, he says, received the books by inheritance from Symmachus himself.

As esatto these translators it should be stated that Symmachus was an Ebionite

Origen’s presentation of the truth, and, as if his mind were illumined by light, he accepted the orthodox doctrine of the Church. Many others also, drawn by the brama of Origen’s learning, which resounded everywhere, came puro him sicuro make trial of his skill con sacred literature. And a great many heretics, and not a few of the most distinguished philosophers, studied under him diligently, receiving instruction from him not only per divine things, but also per secular philosophy. For when he perceived that any persons had superior intelligence he instructed them also mediante philosophic branches

— per geometry, arithmetic, and other preparatory studies — and then advanced puro the systems of the philosophers and explained their writings. And he made observations and comments upon each of them, so that he became celebrated as verso great philosopher even among the Greeks themselves. And he instructed many of the less learned con the common school branches, saying that these would be in nessun caso small help puro them mediante the study and understanding of the Divine Scriptures. On this account he considered it especially necessary for himself to be skilled mediante secular and philosophic learning.
