The Dionysian Mystical Theology introduces the Pseudo-Dionysian
"mystical theology," with glimpses at key stages in its
interpretation and critical reception through the centuries. In
part one, the elusive Areopagite's own miniature essay, The
Mystical Theology, is quoted in its entirety, sentence by sentence,
with commentary. lts cryptic contents would be almost impenetrable
withoutjudicious reference to the rest of the Dionysian corpus: The
Divine Names, The Celestial Hierarchy, The Ecclesiastical
Hierarchy, and the ten Letters. Of special importance is the
Dionysian use of negations in an "apophatic" theology that
recognizes the transcendence of God beyond human words and
concepts. Stages in the reception and critique of this Greek corpus
and theme are sketched in part two: first, the initial
sixth-century introduction and marginal comments (Scholia) by John
of Scythopolis; second, the early Latin translation and commentary
by the ninth-century Carolingian Eriugena and the twelfth-century
commentary by the Parisian Hugh of St. Victor; and third, the
critical reaction and opposition by Martin Luther in the
Reformation.In conclusion, the Dionysian apophatic is presented
alongside other forms of negative theology in light of modern and
postmodern interests in the subject.
