Per la storia del Commento a Matteo di Origene: problemi d'attribuzione ed echi origeniani nell'opera dello Pseudo-Pietro di Laodicea

Starting from a brief summary of the history of Klostermann’s edition, the paper focuses on the relationship between Origen’s Commentary on Matthew and the analogue commentary, characterized by a high level of compilation, attributed to the so-called Peter of Laodicea. Beyond a recapitulation of the attempts of identification of this mysterious author, the paper offers specimina of comparisons between correspondent sections of Origen’s and Peter’s texts, in order to highlight similarities and differences, and thus to discuss if Peter’s text can be rightly taken into consideration as a useful witness in a new edition of Origen’s text.
