Abstract/Contents

Summary: This manuscript comprises a collection of letters and tracts attributed to Cyprian (d. 258). However, the attribution of some of these texts is spurious; for example, the De aleatoribus, though undoubtedly an early text, has also been attributed to a number of other authors, including Popes Victor I and Callixtus I. CCCC MS 25 is a fourteenth-century copy of the twelfth-century Buildwas manuscript, Cambridge, Pembroke College, MS 154, and the marginalia of the latter manuscript has been incorporated into the former.
Contents: Ad Donatum -- De habitu uirginum -- De lapsis -- De catholicae ecclesiae unitate -- De dominica oratione -- De mortalitate -- De opere et eleemosynis -- Ad Demetrianum -- De bono patientiae -- De zelo et liuore -- Ad Fortunatum de exhortatione martyrii -- Ad Quirinium, books 1 and 2 -- Ad Quirinium, book 3 -- Epistola 55 -- Epistola 74 -- Epistola 69 -- Epistola 69 (continued) -- Epistola 40 -- Epistola 67 -- Epistola 64 -- Epistola 2 -- Epistola 60 -- Epistola 57 -- Epistola 59 -- Epistola 52 -- Epistola 47 -- Epistola 45 -- Epistola 44 -- Epistola 51 -- Epistola 13 -- Epistola 43 -- Epistola 65 -- Epistola 1 -- Epistola 61 -- Epistola 46 -- Epistola 66 -- Epistola 4 -- Quod idola dii non sint -- Epistola 56 -- Epistola 3 -- Epistola 72 -- Epistola 58 -- Epistola 63 -- Epistola 6 -- Epistola 76 -- Epistola 73 -- Epistola 71 -- Sententiae episcoporum numero LXXXVII de haereticis baptizandis -- Epistola 28 -- Epistola 37 -- Epistola 38 -- Epistola 39 -- Epistola 70 -- De aleatoribus -- De laude martyrii -- Letter to Cyprian of Carthage -- Epistola 20 -- Epistola 32 -- Epistola 47 -- Epistola 54 -- Letter to Cyprian of Carthage (Epistulae ad Cyprianum et alios, 78) -- Letter to Cyprian of Carthage (Epistulae ad Cyprianum et alios, 75) -- Letter to Cyprian of Carthage (Epistulae ad Cyprianum et alios, 53) -- Epistola 16 -- Epistola 15 -- Epistola 17 -- Epistola 18 -- Epistola 19 -- Epistola 26 -- Epistola 25 -- Epistola 9 -- Epistola 29 -- De montibus Sina et Sion -- Epistula xxxi inter opera Sancti Cypriani

Provenance	At the end of the table of contents (f. iiv) is an erasure which, revived, looks like liber Abbendonie (i.e. Abingdon Abbey).
Research	The order of contents corresponds exactly with that in Pembroke College 154 (cent. xii, from Buildwas); but the latter adds Ymnus de pascha. See on the MSS. of Cyprian Hans v. Soden in Texte u. Untersuchungen N. F. x. A collation of this MS. was supplied to Fell and Pearson for their edition (1682).
Additions	On flyleaf (f. ir) (xvi): Willelmus ffreman est possessor huius libelli Qui scripsit scripta sua dextra sit benedicta.
Decoration	The ornament of the book is good. The first Epistle has an initial (f. 1r) of Cyprian in green mitre and lilac chasuble (with pattern of groups of 3 gold dots) seated with crosier blessing: gold ground. The other tracts have blue initials with elaborate interiors in red leaving designs in white.
