Seltene Ausgabe. - Cyprianus (3. Jh. n. Chr.), aus Afrika, wirkte in Karthago als Rhetor. In späterem Alter trat er zum Christentum über, wurde Presbyter und 248-49 Bischof seiner Vaterstadt. Bei der Christenverfolgung des Kaisers Valerian wurde er 258 enthauptet. Bis Augustin blieb er der maßgebende lateinische Schriftsteller. - " ...in 1682 appeared the magnificent large folio, the fruit of Fell's long study of the Father whose stand against Rome and special theory of the episcopate gave him a unique appeal to Anglicans... The folio comprised all the saint's writings, copiously annotated by Fell, and a new Life, Annales Cyprianici, which was compiled by the greatest English patristic scholar of the age, John Pearson... Fell's apparatus is impressive; his collations numerous, his notes copius. The composition of the text is creditable to an English press; the paper is excellent and the presswork admirable... The book represents the greatest of Fell's contributions to patriotic scholarship and the exposition of the position of the Anglican Church" (Stanley Morison, John Fell, the University Press and the "Fell" Types, S. 48-9). - Tls. leicht stockfleckig. Vors. erneuert. Bibl.-Ex. Tit. verso u. mehrere Blattränder gestempelt.
