AllchinPseudo-Dionysius: The Complete Workstranslation by Colm Luibheidforward, notes, and translation collaboration by Paul Rorempreface by René Roquesintroductions by Jaroslav Pelikan, Jean Leclercq, and Karlfried Froehlich"Indeed the inscrutable One is out of the reach of every rational process. Nor can any words come up to the inexpressible Good, this One, this Source of all unity, this supra existent Being. Mind beyond mind, word beyond speech, it is gathered up by no discourse, by no intuition, by no name."Pseudo-Dionysius (5th or 6th century)There are few figures in the history of Western Spirituality who are more enigmatic than the fifth or sixth-century writer known as the Pseudo-Dionysius. The real identity of the person who chose to write under the pseudonym of Dionysius the Areopagite is unknown. Even the exact dates of his writings have never been determined. Moreover the texts themselves, though relatively short, are at points seemingly impenetrable and have mystified readers over the centuries. Yet the influence of this shadowy figure on broad range of mystical writers from the early Middle Ages on is readily discernible. His formulation of a method of negative theology that stresses the impotence of humans attempt to penetrate the "cloud of unknowing" is famous, as is his meditation on the divine names.Despite his influence, relatively few attempts have been made to translate the entire corpus of his written into English. Here in one volume are collected all of the Pseudo-Dionysiuss works. Each has been translated from the Migne edition, with reference to the forthcoming Göttingen critical edition of A.M. Ritter, G. Heil, and B. Suchla.To present these works to the English-speaking public, an outstanding team of six research scholars has been assembled. The lucid translation of Colm Luibheid has been augmented by Paul Rorems notes and textual collaboration. The reader is presented a rich and varied examination of the main themes of Dionysian spirituality by René Roques, an incisive discussion of the original questions of the authenticity and alleged heresies in the Dionysian corpus by Jaroslav Pelikan, a comprehensive tracing Dionysiussinfluence on medieval authors by Jean Leclercq, and a survey by Karlfried Froehlich of the reception given the corpus by Humanists and sixteenth-century Reformers.† Details ISBN0809128381 Publisher Paulist Press International,U.S. ISBN-10 0809128381 ISBN-13 9780809128389 Format Paperback Imprint Paulist Press International,U.S. Country of Publication United States DEWEY 270.2092 Author Jean Leclercq Language English Photographer Paul Rorem Media Book Series Classics of Western Spirituality Series Year 1987 Publication Date 1987-01-01 Place of Publication Mahwah Edition New edition Short Title PSEUDO-DIONYSIUS REV/E Pages 336 Subtitle The Complete Works DOI 10.1604/9780809128389 Edited by Luibheid, Colm Translator Paul Rorem UK Release Date 1987-01-01 AU Release Date 1987-01-01 NZ Release Date 1987-01-01 US Release Date 1987-01-01 Edition Description New edition Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
