220 TREATISES ATTRIBUTED TO CYPRIAN.
The treatisesOn the Disciplineand Benefitof Chastity
and the Exhortation to Repentance are generallyplaced
under the Opusculadubia. The former was firsteditedby
Baluzius,with the title"Epistle of an Unknown Author."
Its Cyprianic authorshipwas maintained by Bellarmin,
Pamelius,and others; whileErasmus, Tillemont,and others
have rejectedit as spurious. The second treatisewas first
publishedby Joannes Chrysostomus Trombellius in 1751,
who regardeditas a genuine work of Cyprian's. And in
deed,as faras internalevidencegoes,the treatise,consisting
merely of a collectionof quotationsfrom Scripture,in the
manner of the TestimoniesagainsttheJews,may probablybe
attributedto him with as much reasonas the Testimonies.
It is,however,rightto add, that ProfessorBlunt quotes
from the Treatiseon the Glory of Martyrdom as being
Cyprian's,withoutreferringto any doubtson the subject.
