The anonymous theologian known as Pseudo-Dionysius, who was
responsible for arranging the angelic hierarchy into nine orders,
had a significant influence on mediaeval European mysticism. This
book places him in his religious and political context in sixth
century Syria, and uncovers the hidden agenda which lies behind his
writings. New evidence is presented to establish the dating of the
corpus more accurately than has been done before. Rather than
analysing the minutiae of Dionysius' thought, Rosemary Arthur
focuses on his sources for, and treatment of, the Angelic Hierarchy
and the Dazzling Darkness, with a view to ascertaining his motive
for writing, his relationship with his opponents and his need to
hide his identity.
