| Summary: | Medieval study of the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius was puzzlingly patchy. He was accessible in Latin in the translation of John Scotus Eriugena (made c.862), yet there were only occasional attempts at commentary. The present editor notes the important commentary of Hugh of St Victor and provides a reference to the work done so far on the reception of Pseudo-Dionysius up to the thirteenth century. Then there was an active revival of interest. Robert Grosseteste attempted a new translation and made commentaries on the corpus. Albert the Great also commented on Pseudo-Dionysius and Thomas Aquinas commented on The Divine Names., Thomas Gallus (c.1200–46) and his commentaries belong in this cluster of renewed interest. The lemmata he selects for comment by no means cover the entire text. |
