This saint has almost become synonymous in the consciousness of the people as the magician who repented, embraced Christianity, and after becoming a bishop, was persecuted and martyred for his faith.
The biographer, after the vivid narration of the saint's synaxarion, deals with the great and contemporary problem of magic, in an era of satanic, human sacrifice rituals, and also with the attitude and actions of the Church towards magic.
The book concludes with the "hymnological Service" of Saint Cyprian and the bibliography used.
