Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite By "Dionysius the Areopagite" is usually understood the judge of the Areopagus who, as related in Acts, xvii, 34, was converted to Christianity by the preaching of St. Paul, and according to Dionysius of Corinth (Eusebius, Hist. He finds in Dionysius not a flasifier, but a prominent theologian of the fourth century who, through no fault of his own, but owing to the misinterpretation of some passages, was confounded with the Areopagite. In the first place, a series of famous writings of a rather peculiar nature was ascribed to the Areopagite and, secondly, he was popularly identified with the holy martyr of Gaul, Dionysius, the first Bishop of Paris. catholicity.com /encyclopedia/d/dionysius_the_pseudo-areopagite.html   (4972 words)

Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, also known as pseudo-Denys, is the name scholars have given to an anonymous theologian and philosopher of the 5th century, who wrote a collection of books, the Corpus Areopagiticum, falsely ascribed to the Dionysius mentioned in Acts 17:34. Georgian academician Shalva Nutsubidze and Belgian professor Ernest Honigmann were authors of a theory identifying pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite with Peter the Iberian.

Dionysius the Areopagite -- Pseudo or Not? Homer D. Klong Investigates! Dionysius the Areopagite was a real person who lived in Athens, Greece, in the 1st Century. It is my contention that the writings are truly from the hand of Dionysius the Areopagite, of New Testament times. According to some, Dionysius was one of the council of nine judges of the Areopagus (literally, Mars Hill). www.angelfire.com /ca4/seneca/dionysius.html   (1320 words)

Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite Presenting himself as Dionysius the Areopagite, the disciple of Paul mentioned in Acts 17:34, his writings had the status of apostolic authority until the 19th century when studies had shown the writings denoted a marked influence from the Athenian Neoplatonic school of Proclus and thus were probably written ca. Dionysius is the author of three long treatises (The Divine Names, The Celestial Hierarchy, and The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy) one short treatise (The Mystical Theology) and ten letters expounding various aspects of Christian Philosophy from a mystical and Neoplatonic perspective.

Encyclopedia: Pseudo-Dionysius An unknown Greek monk from the fifth or sixth century, the writer we call "Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite" was frequently confused during the Middle Ages with the "Dionysius the Areopagite" mentioned in Acts 17 as being converted by the Apostle Paul. The early Church historian Eusebius names the biblical Dionysius the Areopagite as the first Bishop of Athens, and later tradition has him being martyred there. He was responsible for writing such very influential works as "On the Heavenly Hierarchy" and "On the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy", which were quoted and relied upon as orthodox for many centuries. www.societaschristiana.com /Encyclopedia/P/PseudoDionysius.html   (242 words)

DIONYSIUS THE AREOPAGITE It was the writing of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite that attracted the attention of the brilliant thinker of the ninth century, John Scottus Eriugena, who translated it into Latin, composed commentaries and made an extensive use of it in his own theological constructions. The Church Slavonic translations of the writings ascribed to Dionysius the Areopagite, accomplished in the fourteenth century, became an event in Slavic culture. For example, the world is considered by Dionysius as a direct creation of God, matter is not a cause and source of evil; he accepts resurrection, body for him is not a source of evil and sin in men; although in a few words, he rightly teaches about the Holy Trinity.... www.philos.nsu.ru /classics/dionysius/dionysius_eng.htm   (5919 words)

ORB -- While Augustine had proposed his own understanding of Neoplatonism and its relationship to the Christian life, from Pseudo- Dionysius twelfth-century writers were exposed to an alternative Christian vision based on the same philosophical framework. He argued that Dionysius was not only bishop of Athens but later bishop of Paris and was now buried in the monastery of St.-Denis where he was the abbot. In the Regulae Theologicae he contends, along with Dionysius that "no name properly belongs to God" (Patrologia Latina 210.630C) and that only negative statements about God can be true and proper. www.the-orb.net /encyclop/culture/philos/coulter.html   (4796 words)

conjectures of a guilty seminarian Since the Orthodox have rejected all this business of calling the writer of the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite "Pseudo-Denis," and have instead called him the Bishop of Athens, presumably the first Bishop of Athens, I thought this would be a fun post for today. Pseudo-Dionysius is the name modern Scholars use to identify a late 5th century mystic who throughout the Middle Ages was believed to be Dionysius the Areopagite converted to Christianity by the Apostle Paul during his visit to Athens (see Acts 17).

Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite And since the Areopagite was considered to have been the first bishop of Athens and had supposedly died in 96 AD, it implied that the Hierarchy had been written during the first century. In the 9th century Dionysius was confused with St. Denis of France; Vulgate of St Denis was fixed around 835 by Hilduin, abbot of St. Denis, which means the confusion already existed at this time. This was disproved in the 12th century by Peter Abelard, who disproved the confusion between the Areopagite and the bishop of Paris, -- Abelard later had to retract this statement (and a few others) -- the legend was generally accepted. www.granta.demon.co.uk /arsm/jg/psdiony.html   (3929 words)

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.12.16 She refutes the views of Panofsky and challenges the still popular vision of Otto von Simson, whose classic and frequently reprinted study The Gothic Cathedral (1956) continues to fuel the idea that Suger's treatises constitute a guide for representing the hierarchical philosophical doctrines of Dionysius the Areopagite through spatial and architectonic means. Not unlike Kramp, she argues that Suger did not try to explain and legitimise his building programme with the philosophical and theological concepts of Dionysius the Areopagite. Linscheid-Burdich is able to establish Suger's use of the De caelesti hierarchia, the abbot's depiction of the saint Dionysius, and the relative weight of the saint in relation to other patrons of the French royal dynasty (such as St. Martin, St. Remigius and St. Martialis). ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2004/2004-12-16.html   (638 words)

Mystical Theology This proved to be a mistaken hypothesis, but held good for over a thousand years, so the incorrect reference has been retained, and we now describe the author as Dionysius, the Pseudo-Areopagite, or simply Pseudo-Dionysius or sometimes Pseudo-Denys. The collection of writings of a now unknown author were appealed to in 533 by Monophysites who assumed that they had come from Dionysius the Areopagite, mentioned in Acts 17:34. The four extant works (apart from a number of letters) were probably written around 500CE, and are good examples of Christian Neoplatonism: people.bu.edu /wwildman/WeirdWildWeb/courses/wphil/lectures/wphil_theme05.htm   (638 words)

Pseudo-Dionysius Dionysius the Areopagite--or, more properly, Pseudo-Dionysius--was a Neoplatonic Christian mystic who is noted for his esoteric writings on the mysteries of Divine Wisdom, goodness beyond comprehension, First Principles, the nature of God, and the concept of beyond-being. Like Saint John of the Cross, he wrote about angels and darkness, but the "Divine Darkness" of Pseudo-Dionysius was of a different category--a transcendent realm beyond light. Written barely within the limits of intelligibility, these treatises supposedly originated in the first century but in reality were penned under this pseudonym in the late fifth century or early sixth century. www.alcott.net /alcott/home/champions/Dionysius.html   (145 words)

Angels in religious Traditions These two texts were claimed to be the work of Dionysius the Areopagite, a bishop in first-century Athens (named after the Areopagus hill in Athens). Consequently the texts attributed to Dionysius in the sixth century were generally accepted as an authoritative account of the angelic realm for several centuries, especially after their endorsement by Pope Gregory the Great (590 to 604 CE). That comment, however, was made in the backlash after it was discovered that the works formerly attributed to Dionysius were a sixth century 'fraud', and the dominant view among the Protestants was that the Bible was the only source of theological knowledge. easyweb.easynet.co.uk /ursa/angels/trad.htm   (94 words)
