INTRODUCTION
Felix HEINZER found a fragment of a Tertullian manuscript in the Hauptstaatsarchiv of Stuttgart (A284/38 Bü). The fragment is a bifolium of a 12th century manuscript. The bifolium had been used in the binding of a register of the Cistercian abbey of Herrenhalb, in the north of the Black Forest, in the neighbourhood of Hirsau.
The two leaves contain only _Adversus Marcionem_II.7.2-13.2. They contain no marginal annotations, unlike the copious annotation by Rhenanus on the Paterniacensis. It has been supposed that this means that it cannot be a fragment of the Hirsau Ms. Rhenanus used for his edition; the argument seems doubtful.
