Cyprianus Gallus

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Cyprianus Gallus or Cyprian the Gaul (fl. c. 397–430) is the conventional name of the poet who wrote a

Cyprian of Carthage and Tertullian
.

The name "Cyprianus Gallus" was coined by Rudolf Peiper [de] based on the misattribution of the Heptateuchos to Cyprian of Carthage and the actual author's presumed origin in Gaul. The author has also been called "Pseudo-Cyprian".[1]
