6. A brief exposition, or an Enchiridion upon the whole Book of Psalms: also larger explanations thereupon at the request of Am∣brose. He was the first (saith Ierom) that commented upon the whole Psalter. Tri∣themius saith that he wrote one hundred and fifty Tracts upon the Psalms; which equals the number of them.

7. A Commentary upon the Proverbs of Solomon.

8. Explanations upon the Book Ecclesiastes. Kimedoncius cites a Testimony out of Origen Homil. 1. in Ecclesiasten.

9. Ten Books of Commentaries upon the Canticles: five whereof he wrote at Athens; the other five returning from Cesarea. A worthy Work requiring much time, labour and cost to translate, for which cause Ierom omitted it, and would not attempt or adventure upon it. In this Work, containing well nigh twenty thousand Verses, he discourseth so magnificently and clearly, (saith Ierom) that as in the rest he overcame all others, so in this he overcame himself.

10. Annotations upon the whole Prophesie of Esay: also continued explanations from the first Chapter unto the thirtieth; of which, thirty Tomes came to our hands, saith Eu∣sebius: together with two Books upon the thirtieth Chapter.

11. A huge number of Homilies upon Ie∣remy, the most whereof are lost.

12. Upon the Lamentations nine Tomes: Of which (saith Eusebius) we have seen five.

13. Upon Ezekiel twenty and five Tomes,

the which he wrote being at Athens: besides many Homilies.

14. Upon the twelve Minor Prophets ma∣ny Tracts, Whereof (saith Eusebius) we have found twenty and five in the whole, which Ierom saith, he found copied out by Pamphilius among these were: one upon Hosea; of which Ierom thus: Ori∣genes parvum de hoc Prophetâ scripsit Li∣bellum, cui hunc titulum imposuit, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i.e. quare in O∣see appellatur Ephraim, volens ostendere, quaecun∣que contra eum dicuntur, ad haereticorum refe∣renda personam, &c.
