Un moderno falso origeniano: sull’attribuzione e sui testimoni di Or. fr. 241-242 Rauer (90-91 Crouzel-Fournier-Périchon) in Lc.

Following a critical remark by E. Prinzivalli, the article aims to show that two Greek fragments usually attributed to Origen (Or. fr. 241-242 Rauer (90-91 Crouzel-Fournier-Périchon) in Lc.) are actually spurious. The author demonstrates that M. Rauer linked the first fragment to Origen because he misread the lemma in the manuscript Par. Coisl. 612. Moreover, he identifies two “new” testimonies of the fragments (Vat. Pal. gr. 20, Vind. theol. gr. 117), in which they are both ascribed to Apollinaris of Laodicea. Indeed, several proofs indicate that Or. fr. 241-242 Rauer in Lc. should be attributed to Apollinaris, and should be published as one fragment, together with another small excerpt by Apollinaris (Apoll. fr. 11,5-6 Reuss in Lc.).
