Shalva Nutsubidze (1888–1969) was the leading Georgian philosopher of the twentieth century, founder of the school of "aletheology" and a central figure in Georgian medieval studies. This wartime monograph, published in Tbilisi at the height of the Second World War, sets out his celebrated hypothesis identifying the anonymous author of the Corpus Areopagiticum — the late fifth-century mystical theological writings ascribed to "Dionysius the Areopagite," the Athenian convert of the Apostle Paul — with Peter the Iberian (411–491), the Georgian prince, monk, and Monophysite bishop of Maiuma. Building on the testimony of Zacharias Rhetor and on close textual analysis of Peter's biography, Nutsubidze argues that the Areopagitic writings, which exerted a foundational influence on Byzantine and Western mystical theology from Maximus the Confessor to Aquinas and Eckhart, originated within Eastern monastic circles around Peter the Iberian. The hypothesis, advanced almost simultaneously and independently by the Belgian Byzantinist Ernest Honigmann, became known as the Honigmann–Nutsubidze theory and has remained one of the most discussed proposals in twentieth-century patristic scholarship. The 1942 Tbilisi printing — issued in only 1000 copies on poor wartime paper — is the original Russian-language presentation of the thesis to a wider scholarly audience and is now uncommon outside major research libraries.
