ABSTRACT
Dionysius’ potent set of writings have had an inuence that belies their size. The works that survive are the Divine Names (DN), the Celestial Hierarchy (CH), the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy (EH), the Mystical Theology (MT) and nine letters. The authenticity of a tenth letter is disputed. He refers to several other works: The Symbolic Theology, The Theological Representations, Divine Hymns, Concerning Justice and the Judgement of God, The Soul and The Conceptual and the Perceptual. There is no settled scholarly opinion as to whether these works are missing or are ctions. The Corpus Dionysiacum (CD) oers a rich tapestry of philosophical, theological, scriptural and liturgical references. As a rule these references are not cited directly, but have been identied by textual analysis. The author demonstrates a breadth and depth of reading and an acute sensitivity to contemporary debates. He stands at the conuence of Greek philosophy and biblical tradition.
