More about the book

Origen's Philokalia is an anthology of Origen's texts, probably compiled by Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen. It was probably compiled during their monastic retreat in Pontus in the late 350s to early 360s, or in any event early in their careers and before their own theological writings.[1] The complete text of so much of Origen's work is lost, and consequently the extracts in the anthology are valuable today.[2] It should not be confused with the medieval Philokalia. The work is divided into twenty-seven chapters, with titles given by the compilers. About a fifth of it is taken from Contra Celsum.
