First published in 1953, this edition of the De Oratione contains the Latin text with critical notes, and an English translation opposite. These are supplemented by an introduction and commentary. The De Oratione is one of the early works of Tertullian, written in his pre-Montanist days. It contains the earliest known commentary on the Lord's prayer, and includes a long section on private and public prayers, as well as references to certain suggested new practices in the North African Church, on which he comments with characteristic decidedness. All who study the Fathers will welcome another volume from the editor of Tertullian's Adversus Praxean.
