The anonymous treatise against gambling, which has come down to us among the works of Cyprian, is one of the earliest pieces of Christian Latin in existence (among other indications of its date, it cites the Shepherd of Hermas as Scripture). This edition, with copious notes, will interest the philologist for the vigor and audacity of its Vulgar Latin, and the church historian for its sweeping assertion of episcopal powers. Adolf Harnack's ascription of it to Victor, Bishop of Rome, (whose works are otherwise lost) is supported by a useful resume of what little is known about this controversial and quarrelsome figure.
