The book's subject matter is philosophical mystery. More particularly, it proffers a theistic hermeneutic-from patristic philosophy-for claims and indications of mystery.

The epic poet Dionysius, who probably flourished in the first century CE, is a key transitional figure in the history of Greek poetry, sharing stylistic and thematic tendencies with both the learned Hellenistic tradition and the monumental epic poetry of the later Roman period. His Bassarica is the earliest known poem on the conquest of India by the god Dionysus and was an important model of Nonnus' Dionysiaca. His Gigantias related the battle of the giants against the Olympian gods and legends surrounding it, with particular focus on the figure of Heracles. This is the most comprehensive edition to date of his poetry, expanding the number of fragments available and providing a more reliable text based on a fresh inspection of the papyri. The volume includes a substantial introduction contextualising the poetry, a facing English translation of the text, and a detailed linguistic and literary commentary.

Das Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum ist eine mit Randkommentaren (sogenannten Scholien) versehene Sammlung von vier Abhandlungen (De divinis nominibus; De caelesti hierarchia; De ecclesiastica hierarchia; De mystica theologia) und zehn Briefen (Epistulae) des Dionysius Areopagita, eines christlichen Schriftstellers des sechsten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts. Nachdem die vier Abhandlungen und die zehn Briefe (in zwei Bänden als Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum I und II, = PTS 33 und 36) bereits herausgegeben wurden, folgen nun die Randkommentare (in den Bänden Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum IV 1, IV 2, V 1 sowie V 2).Dionysius Areopagita zählt zu den bedeutendsten Autoren der Philosophie und Theologie und daher auch zu den meistkommentierten Autoren der Spätantike, des Mittelalters und der Renaissance. Als Folge dieser ausgedehnten Kommentartradition reicht seine Wirkung über die Scholastik und den Deutschen Idealismus bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein. Einen wesentlichen Anteil an dieser Wirkmacht haben die ersten Randkommentare des Johannes von Skythopolis, die als redaktioneller Teil des Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum die Abhandlungen und Briefe des Dionysius Areopagita in den ersten Jahrhunderten ihrer Verbreitung stets begleiteten und durch kommentierende Zusätze weiterer Scholiasten erweitert wurden. Alle diese Randkommentare (Scholien) bestehen aus dem Lemma, d.i. der Verweis auf die Textpartie, und dem Interpretament, d.i. die eigentliche Erklärung. Das einzelne Scholion ist Teil des Kommentares, d.h. der fortlaufenden Erklärung des Textes, die gleichsam aus mehreren aneinander gereihten Scholien besteht und sich auf alle Wissensbereiche erstreckt. Durch die Notierung der Scholie am Rand des Textes kommt es zu einer praktischen Verbindung zwischen Kommentar und Text.Die Übersetzung dieser Scholien ins Lateinische durch Anastasius Bibliothecarius ermöglichte und erleichterte die Auseinandersetzung des lateinischen Westens mit den griechisch verfassten Abhandlungen des Dionysius Areopagita. Band IV 1 enthält Prolog und Randkommentare des Johannes von Skythopolis zum Traktat De divinis nominibus des Dionysius Areopagita mit kommentierenden Zusätzen weiterer Scholiasten.

"'Dionysius the Areopagite' is arguably one of the most mysterious and intriguing figures to emerge from the late antique world. Writing probably around 500 CE, and possibly connected with the circle of Severus of Antioch, Dionysius manipulates a Platonic metaphysics to describe a hierarchical universe: as with the Hellenic Platonists, he arranges the celestial and material cosmos into a series of triadic strata. These strata emanate from one unified being and contain beings that range from superior to inferior, depending on their proximity to God. Not only do all things in the hierarchy participate in God, but also all things are inter-connected, so that the lower hierarchies fully participate in the higher ones. This metaphysics lends itself to a sacramental system similar to that of the Hellenic ritual, theurgy. Theurgy allows humans to reach the divine by examining the divine as it exists in creation. Although Dionysius' metaphysics and religion are similar to that of Iamblichus and Proclus in many ways, Pseudo-Dionysius differs fundamentally in his use of an ecclesiastical cosmos, rather than that of the Platonic Timaean cosmos of the Hellenes. This book discusses the Christian Platonist's adaptation of Hellenic metaphysics, language, and religious ritual. While Dionysius clearly works within the Hellenic tradition, he innovates to integrate Hellenic and Christian thought."--Provided by publisher.
