1/ Researching #Origen’s philological work on #1Baruch these days. Interesting: Origen may have been the one to give the book its title. A thread summarizing and adapting P-M Bogaert’s insights on the early history of “Baruch.”
2/ Though the debate over whether there was a Hebrew Baruch continues, a consensus appears to be forming that the book only was ever in Greek. Certainly, by Late Antiquity, the book is only known in Greek, but by what title?
3/ All early Eastern Xians from the second-early third century, till Origen, cite passages from #1Baruch as from Jeremiah, not knowing that the book was not in Hebrew but a Greek addition to Jeremiah.
