The Oration and Panegyric Addressed to Origen

""The Oration and Panegyric Addressed to Origen"" is a book written by Thaumaturgus, also known as Gregory, in honor of the Christian theologian and philosopher Origen. The book is a tribute to Origen's teachings and influence on Christian thought, as well as an exploration of his life and works. Thaumaturgus praises Origen's deep understanding of scripture, his commitment to the pursuit of truth, and his ability to inspire and guide others in their spiritual journeys. The book provides valuable insights into the early Christian Church and the intellectual and spiritual debates that shaped its development. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the contributions of its most influential thinkers.But we, like any of the poor, unfurnished with these varied specifics[1]--whether as never having been possessed of them, or, it may be, as having lost them--are under the necessity of using, as it were, only charcoal and tiles, that is to say, those rude and common words and phrases; and by means of these, to the best of our ability, we represent the native dispositions of our mind, expressing them in such language as is at our service, and endeavouring to exhibit the impressions of the figures[2] of our mind, if not clearly or ornately, yet at least with the faithfulness of a charcoal picture, welcoming gladly any graceful and eloquent expression which may present itself from any quarter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
