Adamantius is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on early Christian literature and Judaeo-Hellenistic studies, with particular attention to the Alexandrian theologian Origen (c. 184 – c. 253). Its title derives from Origen’s Greek cognomen, Adamantios, meaning "adamant" or "unbreakable".[1][2]
The journal was founded in 1995 (originally under the title Bollettino del Gruppo Italiano di Ricerca su Origene e la Tradizione Alessandrina) by the Italian Research Group on Origen and the Alexandrian Tradition (GIROTA). Initially, it aimed to provide a forum for research related to Origen and his tradition. In 2001, GIROTA was formally established, and *Adamantius* became its official publication. Over time, the journal expanded its scope to cover broader Judaeo-Hellenistic studies and related early Christian literature.[1][3]
The editorial board includes scholars such as Professor Alberto Camplani (Scientific Director) and Professor Lorenzo Perrone (Editor-in-Chief, direttore responsabile). The board comprises Italian and international academics who oversee the journal’s peer-review process and maintain its academic standards.
