With Oehler's editions we enter the world of the modern critical edition, where the text is established in accordance with predefined criteria, in a hopefully more systematic and scientific way. This page contains the series and collected editions in Latin. (The pages on individual <a href="../works.htm">works</a> show the CSEL/CCL reference, and the most recent English translation). From Oehler onwards, we are dealing with critical editions in the modern sense, based on a selection of readings based upon stated criteria. <hr> <a name="oehler"></a>1851-4 : OEHLER : Fr. Oehler, Q.S.F. Tertulliani opera omnia, Leipzig, 1851-1854, 3 vols (editio maior) and also Leipzig, 1854 (editio minor). See Klussmann, in Zeitschr. fur wissensch. Theol. [1860], iii. 82-100, 363-393, and Oehler, in Zeitschr. fur wissensch. Theol [1861], iv. 204-211 Editio Maior Checked. Volumes 1 and 2 contain the works of Tertullian. Volume 3 includes various additional material, including the dissertation by Nicolaus le Nourry which refers to various now lost MSS of the Apologeticum. It also contains indexes. The copies I have seen of this have all suffered from 'foxing' - i.e. brown splotches in the paper. The volumes are octavo but quite thin. <a href="../articles/oehler_praefatio.htm">The preface to volume I is online</a>. <blockquote> <blockquote> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="90%" class="P.small"> <tr> <td width="97"> VOLUME I </td> <td width="881"> </td> <td width="246"> page </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> <a href="../articles/oehler_praefatio.htm">Preface</a> </td> <td width="246"> iii-xxiii </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> Index Librorum </td> <td width="246"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 1. </td> <td width="881"> Ad Martyras </td> <td width="246"> 3 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 2. </td> <td width="881"> De Spectaculis </td> <td width="246"> 17 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 3. </td> <td width="881"> De Idololatria </td> <td width="246"> 67 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 4. </td> <td width="881"> Apologeticum </td> <td width="246"> 111 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 5. </td> <td width="881"> Ad Nationes Libri II </td> <td width="246"> 306 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 6. </td> <td width="881"> De Testimonio Animae </td> <td width="246"> 399 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 7. </td> <td width="881"> De Corona </td> <td width="246"> 415 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 8. </td> <td width="881"> De Fuga in Persecutione </td> <td width="246"> 461 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 9. </td> <td width="881"> Scorpiace </td> <td width="246"> 495 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 10. </td> <td width="881"> Ad Scapulam </td> <td width="246"> 539 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 11. </td> <td width="881"> De Oratione </td> <td width="246"> 553 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 12. </td> <td width="881"> De Patientia </td> <td width="246"> 587 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 13. </td> <td width="881"> De Baptismo </td> <td width="246"> 619 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 14. </td> <td width="881"> De Paenitentia </td> <td width="246"> 643 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 15. </td> <td width="881"> Ad Uxorem Libri II </td> <td width="246"> 669 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 16. </td> <td width="881"> De Cultu Feminarum Libri II </td> <td width="246"> 701 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 17. </td> <td width="881"> De Exhortatione Castitatis </td> <td width="246"> 737 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 18. </td> <td width="881"> De Monogamia </td> <td width="246"> 761 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 19. </td> <td width="881"> De Pudicitia </td> <td width="246"> 791 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 20. </td> <td width="881"> De Ieiunio adversus Psychicos </td> <td width="246"> 851 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 21. </td> <td width="881"> De Virginibus Velandis </td> <td width="246"> 883 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 22. </td> <td width="881"> De Pallio </td> <td width="246"> 913 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> </td> <td width="246"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> VOLUME II </td> <td width="881"> </td> <td width="246"> page </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 1. </td> <td width="881"> De Praescriptione Haereticorum </td> <td width="246"> 1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 2. </td> <td width="881"> Adversus Marcionem Libri V </td> <td width="246"> 45 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 3. </td> <td width="881"> Adversus Hermogenem </td> <td width="246"> 337 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 4. </td> <td width="881"> Adversus Valentinianos </td> <td width="246"> 381 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 5. </td> <td width="881"> De Carne Christi </td> <td width="246"> 423 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 6. </td> <td width="881"> De Resurrectione Carnis </td> <td width="246"> 465 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 7. </td> <td width="881"> De Anima </td> <td width="246"> 553 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 8. </td> <td width="881"> Adversus Praxean </td> <td width="246"> 651 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 9. </td> <td width="881"> Adversus Iudaeos </td> <td width="246"> 699 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> Fragments </td> <td width="246"> 742 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> Libri Suppositicii </td> <td width="246"> 748 </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> Indices </td> <td width="246"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> </td> <td width="881"> </td> <td width="246"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> VOLUME III </td> <td width="881"> </td> <td width="246"> page </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97"> 1. </td> <td width="881"> Life of Tertullian by J.

Now being revived under the aegis of the <a href="http://www.oeaw.ac.at/kvk/">Kirchenväter-Kommission</a>. New work is being undertaken, including the monster task of documenting the text tradition of St.Augustine, which has already led to the discovery of new letters. A second edition of other authors is proposed. The volumes were issued in paper covers, so tend to appear in a variety of bindings (see the picture of my own selection above). The website is well worth a visit, and run ably and helpfully by Dr. Dorothea Weber. A small selection of the newer volumes (no Tertullian) is available from the CSEL website, at around £40 ($60) each; the others from the publishers Verlag Hölder-Pichler-Tempsky, to whom in the first instance applications for permission to reproduce material should be directed. A text editor for editing classical texts is also available from the CSEL site, although I've not looked at it yet.  I have found that it is possible to obtain out-of-print copies of some of these volumes from <a href="http://www.bibliofind.com">www.bibliofind.com</a> for around the same price.   However I don't have volumes 70 or 76 (yet).

The general opinion on Kroymann's readings is "brilliant, but unsound" (to reapply the words of P.G.Wodehouse), and CCL has revised some of them. <hr> <img border="0" src="../icon/ccl.jpg" width="138" height="181"> <img border="0" src="cover_ccl.jpg" width="224" height="356"> <a name="ccl"></a>1953-date : Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina, (Abbreviated as CCL or CCSL) Turnhout, 1953-date. Vols I and II relate to Tertullian, and are edited by Dom Eligius Dekkers.  All the text is in Latin.  The idea was to reprint the best available editions, and revise them where necessary.  Dekkers therefore revised many of Kroymann's somewhat eccentric readings in CSEL.

There is a WWW site about them, under <a href="http://www.brepols.com">www.brepols.com</a>. However the CD-ROMs are less easy to use than those of Migne, since the interface is rather hostile and also in Latin! None of the introductory material has been included either. Available at the Bodleian library in Oxford, and the Cambridge University library, and doubtless other places too. <hr> <a name="sc"></a>1949 - date : Sources Chrétiennes, published by Les Editions du Cerf. An ongoing series of critical editions in Latin and French, currently at more than 400 volumes, which is intended when complete to include all the Fathers of Antiquity. From the site: The " Christian Sources" series published by the Editions du Cerf was born in the 1940s following the encounter between Jesuit Fathers from Lyon, France (Fontoynont, de Lubac, Daniélou) and the Dominican Fathers of the Editions du Cerf. The aim of this collection is to print the entire works of late Antiquity Christian authors, otherwise known as the Fathers of the Church. Already, 390 volumes, filing shelves 18 meters long, have been printed. Once the final objective is achieved, 900 books will have been published. Origen, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa and John Chrysostom are among some of the more frequently published authors. ... All translations include a detailed introduction, notes, and a critical commentary. Naturally some of the works of Tertullian have already appeared. As time has gone on, the size of each volume has swollen (some are now two volumes!), and the prefatory matter with it. Completely up to date. The first two volumes were less detailed, but are now being revisited to bring them into line with the later ones. Every volume reviews the text tradition, in quite a lot of detail, although where necessary reference is made to an earlier volume. The notes and commentary are primarily philological rather than theological.  These are the best available texts of the works listed. The Tertullian volumes are: <table border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="52">35</td> <td valign="top" width="552">TERTULLIEN : Traité du baptême. R.-F. Refoulé, M. Drouzy.

Moreschini, using a revision of his text (1971).  Moreschini examined afresh the MSS, discovering errors in Kroymann's apparatus, and published articles on the subject.  The translation and notes are by Rene Braun. <img src="../icon/bar1.gif" width="555" height="7"> This page has been online since 11th December 1999. <img src="../icon/bar1.gif" width="555" height="7"> <a href="https://www.tertullian.org">Return to the Tertullian Project</a> / <a href="https://www.tertullian.org/about.htm">About these pages</a> </body> </html>
