	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Celsus the Platonist
		He is one of several writers named Celsus who appeared as opponents of Christianity in the second century; he is probably the Celsus who was known as a friend of Lucian, although some doubt this, because Lucian's friend was an Epicurean, and the author of the "True Discourse" shows himself a Platonist.
		Celsus owes his prominence in the history of Christian polemics not so much to the pre-eminent character of his work, as to the circumstance that about the year 240 a copy of the work was sent to Origen by his friend Ambrosius, with a request to write a refutation of it.
		Celsus took pains to make himself acquainted with the beliefs of his Christian contemporaries, and he is unquestionably conscious of his knowledge of Christianity.

		This entire volume is devoted to the library, and is the principal source of hard data.
		The library serves as a grave monument, rather like many churches, and in the tradition of the entombing of heroes and celebratory family monuments.
		Idil (whose article is full of erroneous data in the general summary of libraries) supposes that the architecture is influenced by that at both Pergamon and Alexandria (though how to know, when Alexandria doesn't survive, is hard to say!).

	Origen of Alexandria [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Porphyry (the illustrious student of Plotinus), though a tenacious adversary of Christianity, nevertheless grudgingly admitted Origen's mastery of the Greek philosophical tradition.
		Although Origen did go on to compose numerous biblical commentaries and sermons, his importance for the history of philosophy rests mainly on two works, the systematic treatise On First Principles, and his response to the pagan philosopher Celsus' attack on Christianity, the treatise Against Celsus.
		Since the purpose of this article is to introduce students and interested laypersons to the philosophy of Origen, it will be necessary to focus mainly on the treatise On First Principles, which is the most systematic and philosophical of Origen's numerous writings.
