== Works == [[File:Septimi Florensis Tertulliani Opera.tif|thumb|''Septimi Florensis Tertulliani Opera'' (1598)]] Tertullian's writings are edited in volumes 1β2 of the ''[[Patrologia Latina]]'', and modern texts exist in the ''[[Corpus Christianorum Latinorum]]''. English translations by [[Sydney Thelwall]] and Philip Holmes can be found in volumes III and IV of the ''[[Ante-Nicene Fathers (book)|Ante-Nicene Fathers]]'' which are freely available online; more modern translations of some of the works have been made. ;Apologetic * ''[[Apologeticus|Apologeticus pro Christianis]]''. * ''Libri duo ad Nationes''. * ''De Testimonio animae''. * ''Ad Martyres''. * ''[[De Spectaculis]]''. * ''De Idololatria''. * ''Ad Scapulam liber''. ;Dogmatic * ''De Oratione''. * ''De Baptismo''. * ''De Poenitentia''. * ''De Patientia''. * ''Ad Uxorem libri duo''. * ''De Cultu Feminarum lib. II''. ;Polemical * ''De Praescriptionibus adversus Haereticos''. * ''De Corona Militis''. * ''De Fuga in Persecutione''. * ''Adversus Gnosticos Scorpiace''. * ''Adversus Praxeam''. * ''Adversus Hermogenem''. * ''Adversus Marcionem libri V''. * ''[[Adversus Valentinianos]]''. * ''Adversus Judaeos''. * ''De Anima''. * ''[[De Carne Christi]]''. * ''De Resurrectione Carnis''. ;On morality * ''De velandis Virginibus''. * ''De Exhortatione Castitatis''. * ''De Monogamia''. * ''De Jejuniis''. * ''De Pudicitia''. * ''De Pallio''. ===Possible chronology=== The following chronological ordering was proposed by [[John Kaye (bishop)|John Kaye]], Bishop of Lincoln in the 19th century:<ref>cf. J.Kaye, 1845, ''The Ecclesiastical History of the Second and Third Centuries''. List here as reproduced in Rev. Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson, editors, 1867β1872, ''Ante-Nicene Christian Library: Translation of the Writings of the Fathers, Down to AD 325'', Vol. 18, p. xiiβxiii</ref> Probably mainstream (Pre-Montanist): * 1. ''De Poenitentia'' (On Repentance) * 2. ''De Oratione'' (On Prayer) * 3. ''De Baptismo'' (On Baptism) * 4, 5. ''Ad Uxorem'', lib. I & II, (To His Wife) * 6. ''Ad Martyras'' (To the Martyrs) * 7. ''De Patientia'' (On Patience) * 8. ''Adversus Judaeos'' (Against the Jews) * 9. ''De Praescriptione Haereticorum'' (On the Prescription of Heretics) Indeterminate: * 10. ''Apologeticus pro Christianis'' (Apology for the Christians) * 11, 12. ''ad Nationes'', lib. I & II (To the Nations) * 13. ''De Testimonio animae'' (On the Witness of the Soul) * 14. ''De Pallio'' (On the Ascetic Mantle) * 15. ''Adversus Hermogenem'' (Against Hermogenes) Probably Post-Montanist: * 16. ''Adversus Valentinianus'' (Against the [[Valentinus (Gnostic)|Valentinians]]) * 17. ''ad Scapulam'' (To Scapula, Proconsul of Africa) * 18. ''De Spectaculis'' (On the Games) * 19. ''De Idololatria'' (On Idolatry) * 20, 21. ''De cultu Feminarum'', lib. I & II (On Women's Dress) Definitely Post-Montanist: * 22. ''Adversus Marcionem'', lib I (Against [[Marcion]], Bk. I) * 23. ''Adversus Marcionem'', lib II * 24. ''De Anima'' (On the Soul), * 25. ''Adversus Marcionem'', lib III * 26. ''Adversus Marcionem'', lib IV * 27. ''De Carne Christi'' (On the Flesh of Christ) * 28. ''De Resurrectione Carnis'' (On the Resurrection of Flesh) * 29. ''Adversus Marcionem'', lib V * 30. ''Adversus Praxean'' (Against [[Praxeas]]) * 31. ''Scorpiace'' (Antidote to Scorpion's Bite) * 32. ''De Corona Militis'' (On the Soldier's Garland) * 33. ''De velandis Virginibus'' (On Veiling Virgins) * 34. ''De Exhortatione Castitatis'' (On Exhortation to Chastity) * 35.

''De Puditicia'' (On Modesty) === Spurious works === {{main|Pseudo-Tertullian}} There have been many works attributed to Tertullian in the past which have since been determined to be almost definitely written by others. Nonetheless, since their actual authors remain uncertain, they continue to be published together in collections of Tertullian's works. The popular ''Passio sanctae Perpetuae et Felicitatis'' (Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity), much of it presented as the personal diary of [[Perpetua]], was once assumed to have been edited by Tertullian. That view is no longer widely held, and the work is usually published separately from Tertullian's own works.
