Following a brief introduction, this paper will then focus on Cyprian’s comments regarding the behaviour of Virgins in De Habitu Virginum. Cyprian of Carthage argues with the adulterium, a category of Roman criminal law which was particularly important in contemporary society, in order to justify the requirement for Virgins to adopt a way of life and behaviour that would be described today as ‘well-behaved and discreet’. Although fully aware that married women had a different way of life to sponsae Christi, he was inclined to impose the same rules on allChristian Women. Key words: Cyprian of Carthage, the Dress of Virgins, sponsae Christi, adulterium, Virgins, Christian women. Titulo en espanol: Nota minima sobre las esposas de Cristo (Sponsae Christi) y las mujeres casadas en el De habitu virginum de Cipriano de Cartago Resumen: El trabajo, tras una primera parte introductoria, se centra en el comentario de algunos parrafos dedicados al comportamiento de las virgenes. Cipriano no pudo resistir la tentacion de argumentar con una categoria juridica penal romana, particularmente grave en la sociedad laica de la epoca, el adulterium, para justificar la necesidad de que las virgenes adoptaran una forma de vivir, de estar en sociedad, que podriamos calificar de recatada y discreta; tampoco dudo en extender estas pautas a todas las mujeres cristianas, si bien fue plenamente consciente de que las mujeres casadas desarrollaron formas de vida distintas de las virgenes. Palabras clave: Cipriano de Cartago, De habitu virginum, sponsae Christi, adulterium, virgenes, mujeres cristianas.
