Abstract
The so-called Corpus Dionysiacum Areopagiticum is a collection of four philosophical-theological treatises and ten Epistulae. These texts were originally written in Greek and come from an author whom the manuscripts of the corpus call Dionysius Areopagita, bishop of Athens. Yet, this apostolic Dionysius is not the true author of these texts; the true author is unknown and must have written these texts between ad 482/485 and 518/528 in or nearby Caesarea. The Corpus stems back to an early critical edition. The editor included variant readings, and added the prologue and the scholia of John of Scythopolis and three smaller texts of John Philoponus to his edition, which strengthened the assumption of Dionysiusʼ authenticity, and which supported the reception, tradition, and transmission of the Dionysian works.
