THE WORKS OF DIONYSIUS THE AREOPAGITE,

The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite, tr. by John Parker, [1897], at sacred-texts.com

Author of

"Christianity Chronologically Confirmed."

"Why am I a Christian ?" "Dionysius the Areopagite."

"How charming is Divine Philosophy!
Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
But musical as is Apollo’s lute."
