Pseudo-Dionysius’ contribution to the development of Christian visual culture, visual thinking and figural art-making are examined in this book to systematically investigate his long-lasting legacy and influence. The contributors embrace religious studies, philosophy, theology, art, and architectural history, to consider the depth of the interaction between the
and various aspects of contemporary Byzantine and western cultures, including ecclesiastical and lay power, politics, religion, and art.
