Tertullian Knows of a Canon of Twelve Minor Prophets

Post by Secret Alias »

Tertullian knows that the Twelve minor prophets are bound as a canon:
So one of the twelve (minor prophets), Nahum: "For behold upon the mountain the swift feet of Him that bringeth glad tidings of peace." (AM 4.13.2]
Apparently the terminology is as old as Ecclesiasticus 49:10.
“Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote
