Afterwards, and at once i told my brother, and we knew it should be a passion; and we began to have no hope any longer for this world (acts of perpetua and felicitas ) Authorship: first author: general editor (suggested that it was tertullian) First christian writer to write in latin; makes sense to suggest tertullian as the editor, because the original version of the martyrdom was written in latin. Was bishop of carthage at the time. Lived in carthage around 200 ad; little else is known about his life. Some believe it was he who edited the martyrdom (first part of the martyrdom)
