Editio Princeps, printed by the famed Johann Froben, of the early Christian author s collected works. The Carthaginian was the first church leader to write his works in Latin focusing on the defense of the burgeoning religion via various treaties ranging from baptism to heretics. A forerunner of Augustine, his contributions helped Christianity s rise from persecuted minority to an influential part of Roman life.*** Beatus Rhenanus - German humanist who was close to the Reformation but ultimately remained Catholic, and dear friend of Erasmus - relied primarily on two Middle Age manuscripts that he discovered at monasteries in Peterlingen and Hirschau. Erasmus rejoiced over Rhenanus edition of Tertullian and observed that Cyprian loved and Jerome praised Tertullian highly. Erasmus saw himself suffering the same kind of persecution that drove Tertullian from the Church. (Coogan)*** First edition, folio(12 3/4 x 8 1/4 in.). Collation: a6, b8, a-z6, A-Z6, Aa-Dd6, Ee8, Ff-Ii6, Kk10.
