Cyprianus

5th century Roman poet and writer · Writers · Lived 397 to 430 · aged 33

Cyprianus Gallus or Cyprian the Gaul is the conventional name of the poet who wrote a Late Latin epic versification of the historical books of the Old Testament based on the Old Latin translation, although only his version of the Heptateuch (Heptateuchos) has survived to the present day.

Cyprianus is read about 3 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 6 July 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
