Psuedo-Dionysius the Areopagite, unknown 5th century author of a collection of books falsely ascribed to the Dionysius mentioned in [Acts 17:34]. Up until the ninteenth century he was believed to be this Dionysius, but today scholars agree he is not; his real identity is unknown.

Works: the Divine Names, the Ecclestiastical Hierarchy, the Celestial Hierarchy.

His works show strong Neo-Platonic influence.
