De Dominica Oratione

On the Lord's Prayer

St. Cyprian of Carthage

Edition & AttributionTranslator, publisher and source details for this edition.

Translator: Ernest Wallis
Series: The Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume V
Editor: Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson (series editors); A. Cleveland Coxe (American edition)
Publisher: The Christian Literature Company, Buffalo
Year: 1886
Revision: On the Lord's Prayer only (printed pp. 447-457, "Treatise IV" in the edition's order). Transcribed from the CCEL ThML of ANF V, whose text for this treatise was audited against the dated 1886 scan before this build and found no body-text loss. Each chapter is one printed paragraph and one numbered section, except chapter 7, where the text of the Prayer itself, set apart in the print, is its second section. The work's own text only. The editors' Argument and the notes of Wallis and Coxe are not transcribed; where a note is nothing but a scripture reference identifying the passage quoted, that reference is kept as a link at the note's position. Three of those notes are misnumbered in the print itself and are linked to the verse actually quoted: chapter 28 (printed "Matt. xii. 29-31", linked to Mark 12:29-31), chapter 31 ("Col. i. 2", linked to Colossians 4:2) and chapter 32 ("Tob. xx. 8", linked to Tobit 12:8).
