De duodecim abusivis saeculi

Dréacht as Laidin na hÉireann ar moráltacht shóisialta agus pholaitiúil is ea De duodecim abusivis saeculi ("De dhá pheaca déag an Domhain").  Scríobhadh é ag údar Éireannach anaithnid idir 630 agus 700.  Le linn na meánaoise, bhí clú agus cáil ag an saothar ar fud na hEorpach, curtha chun cinn ar dtús ag misinéirí Éireannacha san 8ú haois.

 Údar 
Cuireadh an saothar ag amanna éagsúla i leith údair chanónta agus mór le rá: Naomh Pádraig, Naomh Agaistín, ach go traidisiúnta Naomh Cipireán.  Níor tharla ach go dtí an bhliain 1909 gur chuir Siegmund Hellmann (de) an saothar síos d'údar Éireannach anaithnid den 7ú haois.  Ó shin i leith, glaoitear de ghnáth Bréag-Chipireán (Pseudo-Cyprian) air.
