A Dictionary of Philosophy (3 ed.)
... the Pseudo-Areopagite ( c . ad 500 ) Also known as Pseudo-Dionysius and Pseudo-Denys or Denis. A mystical theologian, confusedly identified in the early Middle Ages with Dionysius the Areopagite whose conversion is described by St Paul (Acts 17: 34). The Pseudo-Dionysian writings aim at a synthesis between Christianity and Neoplatonism , and the mistaken belief that they both originated at the time of the Apostles contributed to their authority. Man approaches God by leaving behind perception and reason, and entering an obscurity from which he...

... (4) the Areopagite , an Athenian converted at Athens by St Paul (Acts 17: 34). Four treatises— The Celestial Hierarchy , The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy , The Divine Names , and The Mystical Theology —and ten letters are ascribed to him. These works, the product of a single mind, belong almost certainly to the early 6th cent. ad and were first cited (and ascribed to Paul's convert) in 532 . They display an enthusiasm for the Neoplatonism of Proclus , while theologically they belong to a Syrian milieu, mistrustful of Chalcedonian Christology....

They gradually gained immense popularity and their alleged authorship was accepted. This authenticity was challenged at the Renaissance, and finally at the end of the 19th century, their dependence on Proclus the 5th-century Neoplatonic philosopher was demonstrated and with that their...
