The Coimbra Book of Saint Cyprian
In The Coimbra Book of Saint Cyprian we offer the English translation and Portuguese transcript of Ms. 2559, a Cyprian book of treasure-hunting.
The Coimbra Book of Saint Cyprian is an isolated publication of Ms. 2559, with an introduction tailored for this content. This is the Ms. 2559 from José Leitão’s Opuscula Cypriani: Variations on the Book of Saint Cyprian and Related Literature released by Hadean Press in 2019. In the Opuscula Cypriani one can find the facsimile of the manuscript as well as an extended introduction and additional material related to it.
This little manuscript was, until José found it in the Coimbra University Library, little more than a folktale. No one believed it existed, until that fateful day when José called up Ms. 2559 from the archives, and there it was.
