The prose style of bishop Cyprian of Carthage (third century) was a model for many writers in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This analysis of his prose-rhythm shows how he employs stylistic devices for the proclamation of his faith. This work covers not only Cyprian’s authentic treatises and letters but also the pseudoepigraphs. It demonstrates how prose-rhythm may be useful in the discussion of authenticity.
