(4) Dogmatic
Works.
These include the Στρωματεῖς, a work composed in imitation of the
treatise of Clement of the same name, and consisting originally
of ten books, of which only three fragments exist in a Latin
version by Jerome;1903
1903 Migne, vol. i. pp.
102–107. | a treatise on
the Resurrection, of which four fragments remain;1904
1904 Migne, vol. i.
91–100. | and the treatise Περὶ
’Αρχῶν, De Principiis, which contains
Origen’s views on various questions of systematic
theology. The work has come down to us in the Latin
translation of his admirer Rufinus; but, from a comparison of the
few fragments of the original Greek which have been preserved, we
see that Rufinus was justly chargeable with altering many of
Origen’s expressions, in order to bring his doctrine on
certain points more into harmony with the orthodox views of the
time. The De Principiis consists of four books, and
is the first of the works of Origen in this series, to which we
refer the reader.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
