Die Reihe D ie Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller der ersten Jahrhunderte (GCS) veröffent-licht seit 1897 (zuerst in Leipzig, dann in Berlin, seit 2001 im Verlag Walter de Gruyter) die Er-gebnisse des Akademieprojektes "Griechische Christliche Schriftsteller", begonnen in der damaligen Königlich Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, fortgeführt in der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Sie bietet in großen kritischen Ausgaben mit historisch orientierenden Einleitungen und Registern diejenigen Werke, die ursprünglich im griechisch-sprachigen Teil des antiken kaiserzeitlichen Christentums entstanden sind und nicht von den anderen großen Editionsreihen herausgegeben werden. Für die ersten drei Jahrhunderte wird dabei Vollständigkeit angestrebt.

The series of Greek Christian Writers of the First Centuries AD (GCS) started in Leipzig in 1897, then moved to Berlin, and to Walter de Gruyter in 2001 and has been publishing the results of the Academy Project "Greek Christian Writers", which was launched in the then Royal Prussian Academy and has been continued by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy. It publishes large critical editions with historically-oriented introductions and indexes of those works which originated in the Graecophone part of the ancient Christian Roman Empire and have not been included in the other major series of editions. The objective is to provide complete coverage of the first three centuries.

The editio princeps of Codex Monacensis Graecus 314, the collection of Origen´s Homilies on the Psalms was discovered by Marina Molin Pradel in april 2012. The Munich manuscript is the major text discovery on Origen, seventy years after the find of the Tura papyri in 1941. The 29 homilies provide the original Greek text of four Homilies on Psalm 36, translated by Rufinus into Latin at the beginning of the fifth century, together with twenty-five new sermons. Only parts of them were known through tiny excerpts preserved in the exegetical anthologies of the catenae. The list of the sermons essentially corresponds to the catalogue of Origen´s Homilies on the Psalms in Jerome´s Letter 33. It includes two homilies on Ps. 15, four on Ps. 36, two on Ps. 67, three on Ps. 73, one on Ps. 74, one on Ps. 75, four on Ps. 76, nine on Ps. 77, two on Ps. 80, and one on Ps. 81. Beyond recovering for us Origen as the great interpreter of the Psalms, the sermons throw new light on his life and thought, and provide insights into the situation of the Church in the third century CE.The critical text has been edited by Lorenzo Perrone in cooperation with Marina Molin Pradel, Emanuela Prinzivalli and Antonio Cacciari.
