Sinopsis

Two Treatises On The Hierarchies Of Dionysius is a book written by John Colet, an English theologian and scholar, in the 16th century. The book is a commentary on the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, a Christian theologian from the 5th century who wrote extensively on the hierarchy of angels and the nature of God. Colet?s commentary consists of two treatises, each exploring different aspects of Dionysius? writings.The first treatise focuses on the hierarchy of angels, which Dionysius believed were divided into nine orders, each with its own unique characteristics and functions. Colet explores the significance of each order and how they relate to one another, as well as the role of angels in the Christian faith.The second treatise delves into the nature of God, as described by Dionysius. Colet examines the concept of the divine essence and attributes, as well as the relationship between God and the created world. He also discusses the importance of contemplation and spiritual enlightenment in understanding the nature of God.Overall, Two Treatises On The Hierarchies Of Dionysius is a scholarly work that provides insights into the theological and philosophical ideas of both Dionysius and Colet.
