| Summary: | Two pieces of evidence argue in favor of the authenticity of Origen’s quotations of the Periodoi Petrou: first, the agreement of these testimonies taken from two differents works: the Greek Philocalia and the Latin translation of the Commentary on Matthiew; second, the influence that the Clementines had on Origen’s thought. The consequences are very important for the knowledge of the genesis of the novel. Origen introduces his quotation of the Periodoi by indicating the number of the book where he took it from. Now this number doesn’t square with the number of the corresponding book of the Recognitiones, but with that of the Homilies. Consequently the structure of the Periodoi fits that of the Homilies, and not that of the Recognitiones. Another consequence: the discussion with Appion must have been present in the Periodoi Petrou, that is to say (in our opinion) in the Grundschrift. That is an important evidence to corroborate the Jewish origin of the frame of the novel. |
