Vladimir Kharlamov

The Authorship of the Pseudo-Dionysian Corpus

A Deliberate Forgery or Clever Literary Ploy?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph revisits one of the most debated aspects of Dionysian scholarship: the enigma of its authorship. The legitimacy of the attribution of the corpus to Dionysius the Areopagite should be seen as a masterfully managed literary device, which better indicates the initial intention of the actual author.
