Cyprianus Gallus
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 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]
