No one believed it existed, until that fateful day when Jos  called up Ms. 2559 from the archives, and there it was. Jos  says it best in his introduction: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor at least one hundred and twenty years, a small manuscript has rested in the Reserved and Special Collections of the General Library of the University of Coimbra. This, while technically referred to as Ms. 2559, was at some point in time given the title \u003cem\u003eVarious Prayers to Drive Away the Devil\u003c\/em\u003e. Neither the library staff nor any Coimbra University historian knows exactly where it came from, what it is doing there, or how it came into the possession of the Library. It is just one among the many other anonymous manuscripts that an eight hundred year old institution tends to accumulate...\u003cbr\u003eThis is a consistent, coherent and concise book. It is a long lost orphan of a lineage of books which have become the stuff of legends and minor references by cynical positivist ethnographers.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a \u003cem\u003eCyprian Book \u003c\/em\u003eof treasure-hunting, presenting all details, steps and technicalities to re-create what had, by the time I found it in Coimbra, become a lost ritual.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52475197817139,"sku":"9781907881855","price":27.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/eUE5eFFMb3ZZaUpHV24ycVhUNnEydz09.webp?v=1759546786","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-coimbra-book-of-saint-cyprian-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
