medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Tertullianus, De cultu feminarum I 6 line 16:
"Tu es diaboli ianua, tu es arboris illius resignatrix, tu es diuinae
legis prima desertrix; tu es quae eum suasisti, quem diabolus aggredi
non ualuit; tu imaginem dei, hominem adam, facile elisisti; propter
tuum meritum, id est mortem, etiam filius dei mori habuit: et adornari
tibi in mente est super pelliceas tuas tunicas?"
ed. E. Kroymann 1954, CC SL 1, p. 343-370
