The treatises of Dionysius the Areopagite, written in Greek, were intended to combine Neoplatonic philosophy with Christian theology and mystical experience. This volume, which explores the nature and results of contemplative prayer, exercised a deep and enduring influence on the development of scholasticism-particularly in regard to the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas.
