Saint Cyprian of Carthage
c. 200 – 258 · Ante-Nicene theologians · Latin (North Africa)
Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus; bishop of Carthage and martyr under Valerian. Disciple in spirit of Tertullian (whom he called "the master") but his correction of Tertullian's later rigorism on the Lapsed and his treatise On the Unity of the Church made him the foundational pre-Nicene theologian of ecclesiology and the episcopate. His eighty-three letters and twelve treatises witness to the Eucharistic, baptismal, and conciliar life of the third-century Church.
