Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to follow the impact of the Pseudo-Dionysian corpus in “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri. The aim of the text is to examine the theological aspects of the Comedy in order to put a spotlight on the equal understanding of the two authors about the mystical experience as an assimilation to the Divine likeness. For that reason, the attention is drawn not only to the directly perceived Dionysian angelology, but also to the conception of hierarchy in general, the presence of light and the approach of describing the indescribable.
