- The Coena Cypriani (The Supper of Cyprianus), or De Coena Cypriani, is a tale generated in Europe during the early Middle Ages, perhaps during the 5th and 6th centuries, and later put into written forms in Latin by Rabanus Maurus (Hrabanus Maurus), by Johannes Hymmonides and, perhaps, by Asselin of Reims. The tradition ascribes the ancient and original authorship to Cyprian of Carthage (Saint Cyprianus). Johannes Hymmonides (or Hymonides, known as John, deacon of Rome) was a deacon in Rome, and was the author of the life of Pope Gregory I, contained in the famous Liber Pontificalis. The Coena Cypriani is midway between a parody, an allegory and a satire of some passages of the Bible; this kind of literature is represented also by other later Latin texts, such as some among the huge collection of the Carmina Burana. The content itself of the Coena has been interpreted in many different ways in the past years, and a few of its most mysterious and ambiguous points still need a correct evaluation. It tells of Joel, the King of the Orient, who offers a huge wedding dinner, a banquet, hosted in the town of Cana as in the well-known episode of the New Testament, to many characters taken from the whole Bible. When almost all the guests have finished their meals, King Joel discovers a theft and orders to seek for the thief. This is soon identified in Acar, son of Carmi, who is condemned to death penalty for this theft. He is then killed and buried by the very same guests to the dinner; these then make return to their own homes. On the question of the Biblical character of Acar and his crime, compare the translations of Bible, 1 Chronicles 2, 7; compare also what is written in the Canonic Letter, 2, 4, by Gregory the Thaumaturge, one of the Church Fathers, who lived between about 215 and 270 AD; compare the Unfinished Work Contra Julianum by Saint Augustine of Hippo, §12; compare also Bible, Joshua 7, 24-25. Incipit of the Coena: Cupienti michi vestre dignitati aliquid scribere quod delectabile foret. Explicit of the Coena: Bene factum Bene factum etc. Et sic est finis. Several manuscripts contain transcriptions of the Coena. Among them it is possible to quote a manuscript of the Library of the S. John's College in Cambridge (UK) and MS Incun.1476.B55 of the John Work Garrett Library, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (USA); this second manuscript is made of 11 folios and the Coena is between folii 8 and 11. The provenance of this manuscript is the Conventus Constantiensis Ordinis Eremitarum S. Augustini in Freiburg. The Coena has made several appearances in contemporary literature, perhaps most famously in the novel Il nome della rosa by Umberto Eco.
- Die Cena Cypriani ist eine ursprünglich auf Lateinisch abgefasste Bibelparodie, deren erste Fassung fälschlicherweise Cyprianus, dem Bischof von Karthago aus dem 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. , zugeschrieben wird; eine zweite Fassung, die im 9. Jahrhundert n. Chr. entstand und in Bezug auf Rhythmus, sprachliche Ausgestaltung und syntaktische Verknüpfung deutlich Verbesserungen erkennen lässt, stammt vermutlich von Johannes Diaconus.
- La Coena Cypriani è un racconto nato in Europa durante il primo Medio Evo, forse tra il V ed il VI secolo, e più tardi messo per iscritto in latino da Rabanus Maurus, Johannes Hymmonides e, forse, Asselin di Reims. La tradizione lo attribuisce a San Cipriano. La Coena Cypriani è un esempio di pantomimo conviviale dell'età tardoantica, a metà tra una parodia, un'allegoria ed una satira di alcuni passaggi della Bibbia, soprattutto la Parabola del banchetto di nozze in Matteo 22,2 e dell'avvenimento delle Nozze di Cana raccontato in Giovanni 2,1-11. Essa racconta del re orientale Gioele, il quale, per celebrare le nozze del figlio, invita a Cana di Galilea personaggi dell'Antico e del Nuovo Testamento, tra cui Caino e Abele, Gesù, Mosè, Abramo, Eva e Maria. Il testo si dilunga sull'abbigliamento, sul menù, sui dettagli grotteschi, per suscitare comicità. Il giorno seguente, Gioele si accorge di un furto e, irritato, ordina di torturare gli ospiti per cercare il ladro. Questo si rivela presto essere Acar, figlio di Carmi, che viene condannato a morte; sono gli stessi ospiti ad ucciderlo e poi seppellirlo. La finalità del testo non è chiara. Secondo Rabano Mauro, che lo adattò in prosa per Lotario II nell'855, aveva valenza didattica: sarebbe servito per facilitare la memorizzazione dei personaggi biblici citati, attraverso un episodio certamente inconsueto. Altri, come Giovanni Immonide che la rielabora in settenari trocaici ritmici, inserendovi allusioni surreali e spunti di politica contemporanea, puntarono su un intento prettamente ludico.
- Вечеря Кипріяна — анонімний пам'ятник «сміхової культури» середньовіччя, створений в 5 — 6 ст. , гумористична оповідь про весільний бенкет в Кані Галілейській, на який запрошено персонажів зі Старого і Нового Завіту. Помилково авторство приписувалося Кипріяну Карфагенському. Починаючи з 9 століття відбулося відродження «Вечері Кипріяна», вона почала мати значний успіх і поширювалася як в первинній редакції, так і в різноманітних інтерпретаціях. До нас дійшли три такі інтерпритації: фульдського абата Рабана Мавра (Rabanus Maurus), диякона Іоана (Johannes Hymmonides) та Ацеліно з Реймза (Azelino di Reims).
