Tertullian

Tertullian was born in Carthage, in Roman North Africa, around 155 to 160 and died there sometime after 220. A convert to Christianity, he wrote polemical and moral treatises in Latin and is called the initiator of ecclesiastical Latin; terms such as trinitas first appear in his work. Late in life he joined the Montanists, a strict movement that stressed new prophecy.

He is one of the few church fathers to argue openly for the Book of Enoch. In On the Apparel of Women (1.3) he acknowledges that some reject it because it is not in the Jewish canon, but argues that Enoch's writings should be accepted, noting that Jude cites them. He also repeats the Enochic idea that fallen angels taught women cosmetics and ornaments.

Like Origen, he read Isaiah 14 alongside Luke 10:18, treating the fallen 'Lucifer' as Satan. That reading is later Christian interpretation; in context the poem in Isaiah mocks a human king of Babylon.
