CYPRIAN’S AD DONATUM AS A MYSTAGOGIC PROTREPTICUS

31 Therefore, in my opinion, Vinzenz Buchheit, Non agnitione sed gratia (Cypr. Don. 2), Hermes 115 (1987), 318–334, and Seneca, 359 (quotation), is wrong in limiting the author’s intention to the “Absage an den Wert der Philosophie für die Erlangung der vita beata.”
