AREOPAGITE. A senator, or a judge of the Areopagus. Solon first established the Areopagites; although some say, they were established in the time of Cecrops, (Anno Mundi, 2553,) the year that Aaron, the brother of Moses, died; that Draco abolished the order, and Solon reestablished it. Demosthenes, in his harangue against Aristocrates, before the Areopagus, speaks of the founders of that tribunal as unknown. See Acts of the Apostles, xviii. 34. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Clement's influence has extended from Pseudo-Dionysus the Areopagite through mediaeval mystics and Renaissance Florentines to John Wesley, various 19th-century Anglicans, and scholars of all persuasions writing on early church life and literature--a rich tapestry indeed. Karel Floss demonstrates the important place that Dionysius the Areopagite held in the thought of not only Ficino but also Ambrogio Traversari, Lefevre d'Etaples, and many medieval thinkers. |
