THE WORKS
OF
DIONYSIUS THE AREOPAGITE,

NOW FIRST TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH,
FROM THE ORIGINAL GREEK,
BY THE
REV. JOHN PARKER, M.A.,

Author of

"Christianity Chronologically Confirmed."

"Why am I a Christian ?" "Dionysius the Areopagite."

"How charming is Divine Philosophy!
Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
But musical as is Apollo’s lute."
