This book uses Pseudo-Dionysius and his mystic theology to explore
attitudes and beliefs about images in the early medieval West and
Byzantium. Composed in the early sixth century, the Corpus
Dionysiacum, the collection of texts transmitted under the name of
Dionysius the Areopagite, developed a number of themes which have a
predominantly visual and spatial dimension. Pseudo-Dionysius'
contribution to the development of Christian visual culture, visual
thinking and figural art-making are examined in this book to
systematically investigate his long-lasting legacy and influence.
The contributors embrace religious studies, philosophy, theology,
art, and architectural history, to consider the depth of the
interaction between the Corpus Dionysiacum and various aspects of
contemporary Byzantine and western cultures, including
ecclesiastical and lay power, politics, religion, and art.
