This is a summary, based on the Patrology handbooks. It is easy to see that some of these works have been preserved by the slenderest of threads, being extant in one manuscript only, or even only in a printed edition, all manuscripts having disappeared. Since Tertullian wrote in a distinctive style of his own, which was easy for ignorant copyists to 'correct' mistakenly, the result is that the text is generally considered to be in a poor state.
