TERTULLIAN'S ADDRESS TO MARTYRS

APPENDIX




APPENDIX So many references have been made in the fore­going pages to Tertullian’s Address to Martyrs that it has been thought well to include that inspiriting Tract in this volume, and also to add some passages from the Passion of St. Perpetua which throw especial light upon the circumstances under which early Christian martyrdoms took place. The date of the Address and of the African martyrdoms is A.D. 203; the scene, Karthage. The translation of the Address has been made from the text edited by the present writer for the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1893 ; of the Passion from Dr. Armitage Robinson’s edition, Texts and Studies, i. 2, Cambridge, 1891.
