HOLLIS (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Lucifer%20of%20Cagliari&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 lists this work only in Latin: the CSEL 14 text (1886) and the CCSL 8 edition, plus the 1845 Migne volume. The two English translation volumes are scoped elsewhere — Beck's Brepols 2020 volume on De Athanasio (https://hollis.harvard.edu/permalink/f/1s5nto6/99155522658703941) and Flower's TTLH 89 volume, whose contents field names only 'Necessity of dying for the Son of God'. The remaining hits are studies of Lucifer's text of Kings and a monograph on fourth-century invective. No English version was located.
Lucifer's longest surviving polemic after De Athanasio: an address to the emperor arguing that clemency toward the enemies of God is itself a crime, built out of a chain of scriptural exempla from Saul to Ahab. It is a key text for the study of how Latin bishops scripturally justified refusal of imperial religious policy, and for the rhetoric of vituperation that Flower's volume analyses but only illustrates from one work. Its absence means the evidence base for 'Imperial Invectives' in English is a single speech.
