Without doubt, Dionysius the Areopagite is the most foundational of all western mystics. Works such as On the Divine Names, On the Celestial Hierarchy and On Mystical Theology set the tone for all subsequent Christian and occult mysticism.  From angelic ranks to the ‘via negativa’ of theology, these works are of profound importance, bound here in a rather rare and lovely edition of 1557. A wonderful chance to own a piece of Neo-Platonic and Mystical history.
