This page contains Latin texts of Tertullian's works. Some I found online, but most were done by me. Some have a critical apparatus, some form parts of whole editions online, while others are the minimum. Verse numbers are added if not present. Latin is hard to scan - please notify me of any errata. All were scanned by me unless otherwise indicated.
[Greek text: Tertullian uses snippets of Greek at various points. I use the free SPIonic font. Get it from https://www.tertullian.org/support]
