Description
Liber de Præscriptionibus Contra Hæreticos (Prescriptions Against Heretics) was written by Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (Tertullian) in the early 3rd Century of the Common Era.
This treatise discusses how Christians should deal with heresy and heretical arguments, mostly from pagans. He argued that the apostles transmitted the truth down to their approved successors, and that essentially no heresy is new. He also asserted that all heresies are condemned by “the sentence and the silence of Holy Scripture.”
This edition in the original Latin was published in 1675 in Brussels. The cover is vellum, ribbed spine, name written on front endpage, otherwise clean. This copy is in excellent condition for being nearly 350 years old!
Tertullian
Tertullian was a prolific early Christian author from Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. Of Berber and Phoenician origin, he was the first Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature. He was an early Christian apologist and a polemicist against heresy, including contemporary Christian Gnosticism. Tertullian has been called “the father of Latin Christianity” and “the founder of Western theology.”
