Tertullian: References & Edit History

A complete listing of Tertullian’s works may be found in Johannes Quasten, Patrology, vol. 2, pp. 246–319 (1953, reprinted 1986), with extensive bibliography. Editions of his work appear in Corpus scriptorum ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, vol. 20 (1890), vol. 47 (1906), vol. 69–70 (1939–42), and vol. 76 (1957); and in Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina, 2 vol. (1953–54), the latter with bibliography. English translations of all his works are in The Ante-Nicene Fathers, ed. by Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson, American rev. ed. by A. Cleveland Coxe, vol. 3 and 4 (1869–70, reprinted 1994). Modern English translations of individual treatises are by Ernest Evans, William P. Le Saint, and others in the various series of translations of the Fathers. Additional bibliography is listed in Bibliographia Patristica, 35 vol. (1956–88/90). A more recent study that considers anew the evidence of his life and the chronology of his writings, disputing the opinions of many modern scholars, is Timothy David Barnes, Tertullian: A Historical and Literary Study (1971, reissued 1985). Eric Osborn, Tertullian, First Theologian of the West (1997, reissued 2002), is also of interest.
