Adamantius is the academic journal of the Italian Research Group on Origen and the Alexandrian Tradition (Italian: Gruppo Italiana di Ricerca su Origene e la Tradizione Alessandrina, GIROTA). It publishes research on Christian literature and Jewish-Hellenistic studies, with a focus on the Alexandrian scholar and theologian Origen (c.184 – c.253).[1] Origen's nickname or cognomen Adamantios derives from Greek and means "adamant" or "unbreakable".[2]

It was founded as the Bolletino del Gruppo Italiana di Ricerca su Origene e la Tradizione Alessandrina in 1996. GIROTA was formally founded in 2001 with Adamantius as its journal. The annual publication (21 issues to date) is divided into five sections:

  1. monographical;
  2. activities of the group;
  3. bibliography relating to Origen and the Alexandrian Tradition;
  4. news concerning conferences; and
  5. indices.[1]

Several supplements have also been published. The director of the editorial board is Professor Alberto Camplani of the Sapienza University of Rome.[1] The journal is published in Italy by Editrice Morcelliana.[3]
