Pseudo-Origen

Pseudo-Origine, Homilia VI in Matthaeum, Latin copy from 1179

Pseudo-Origen is the name conventionally given to anonymous authors whose works are misattributed to Origen and by extension to the works themselves.

These include:

• De recta in Deum fide , a Greek dialogue of the late 3rd or early 4th century ^[1]
• Planctus Origenis , also called Lamentum or Paenitentia, a purported retraction of some of his views regarded as heretical, supposedly translated from Greek into Latin by Jerome of Stridon ^[2]
• Commentarius in Iob , a Latin commentary on Job from Vandal Africa ^[3]
• De Maria Magdalena, a Latin homily on John 20:11–18 ^[4]
• Vitae Mediatrix, 6th-century Latin treatise on the title Mediatrix ^[5]
• Chronicle of Pseudo-Origen, a lost chronicle used as a source for the Collectio Hibernensis ^[6]
• Six homilies on Luke and Matthew attributed to Origen in the homiliary compiled by Paul the Deacon for Charlemagne are usually regarded as misattributed, ^{[7] [8]} including:
  • Homilia VI in Matthaeum ^[9]
  • Homilia VII in Matthaeum, elsewhere misattributed to Bede ^[9]
• Maria stabat ad monumentum, a Latin sermon, possibly by Odo of Morimond  [ it ], reportedly translated into German by Nikolaus Kempf ^[10]
