In the Ad Donatum, his first Christian work, Cyprian proposes the ideal of an eloquence focused on arguments, which privileges the contents (res) over the form (uerba); he wishes a return to the eloquence of Cicero and claims to Christians the plain style, typical of philosophers and outlined by Seneca, against excesses of the Second Sophistic.
