The treatise by the Pseudo-Dionysius "De Mystica Theologia" was
translated into Latin in the ninth century, but it had to await the
first decades of the thirteenth to receive interpretation and
commentary. Thomas Gallus, a member of the Victorine School at
Paris, glossed the Latin version of Iohannes Sarracenus in 1233.
This new, critical edition and translation are based upon all five
manuscripts, two of which are recent discoveries. The commentary by
Bishop Grosseteste was made at Lincoln around 1242. It was based
upon his new version of the Greek text. Both are published here
with a translation.These earliest Latin commentators ventured a
full-scale reappropriation of the contents of "The Mystical
Theology". They explored the trans-conceptual ecstasy of the
individual soul that passes through purification and illumination
to union with God by means of an exceptional grace of divine love.
Between them they provided the context which not only the later
mystical theology of monastery and university but also the actual
spiritual experience of countless souls was formed.
