Dionysius from Niketas Stethatos to Gregory the Sinaite (and Gregory Palamas)
Authors: Rigo Antonio 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In demonstrating that the influence of Dionysius did not expire with the early Byzantine period, this essay will examine the correlation of divine and ecclesiastical hierarchies in Niketas Stethatos, the correlation of different hierarchies with the elements of the Eucharist in Gregory the Sinaite, the efforts of eleventh-century monks to reconcile the ecclesiology of the Dionysian corpus with their own belief in the superiority of monks to priests, and the influence in the later Byzantine world of the Areopagite’s image of the circular movement of the soul. In other words, the Corpus Dionysiacum did not influence Byzantine mysticism in all of its historical phases. On the contrary, prior to Niketas Stethatos (eleventh century) and Gregory the Sinaite (fourteenth century) the presence of Dionysius in the spiritual authors was either indirect (through Maximus the Confessor) or absent (as in the case of John Climacus).
Pletho and Dionysius
Authors: Steiris Georgios 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAccording to Georgios Gemistos ‘Pletho’, politics should be established on true philosophy and mirror the cosmic order. Pletho interprets politically his ontotheology, by presenting a popularized metaphysical order in close connection to Pseudo Dionysius, in order to enhance the sociopolitical value of his programme. His works prove that he was a proficient theologian. However, his sociopolitical vision supersedes Christian religion. Pletho realized that the Christian religion is not adequate for the establishment of a well-ordered state that would promote supreme happiness. Consequently, he turned to a brand of monotheism which combines pagan and Abrahamic elements. Pletho’s idiosyncratic syncretism had enough room for Pseudo Dionysius.
Hugh of St Victor and Dionysius
Authors: Rorem Paul 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The main Dionysian themes of hierarchy (angelic and human), negative theology (the apophatic with the cataphatic), and the anagogical interpretation of Scripture and liturgy are all missing from Hugh of St Victor’s writings, outside of his extensive commentary on the Celestial Hierarchy. Insofar as these are distinctive features of the Dionysian corpus and of its legacy, as in Eriugena, Hugh is not a Dionysian, but rather an Augustinian, albeit one launching his own Victorine variation. Thus, as Dominique Poirel has said of Suger (of St Denis), Hugh read Dionysius but he did not truly assimilate his thought.
Dionysius in Dante
Authors: Edwards Mark 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This essay considers both explicit and implicit use of Dionysius in the works of Dante. The most explicit use occurs in the Convivio, where Dante shows knowledge only of the Celestial Hierarchy in his discussion of the order and activity of the angels. In the Paradiso, the Celestial Hierarchy is once more the only work to which he openly alludes (having been emboldened by Aquas to prefer the Dionysian ranking of angels to that of Gregory the Great); at the same time, allusions to the doctrine and imagery of the Divine Names are also discernible, though Dante may be as reluctant as Aquinas to admit that the intellect is wholly extinguished even in the closest approximation to God.
The Carthusians and the Cloud of Unknowing
Authors: Tyler Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This essay explores the reception of the Dionysian corpus within the climate of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Western culture and its subsequent interpretation in the development of the affective spirituality that will form the basis of the late medieval theologia mystica. As such it spans the period between the Victorine interpretations in the Parisian schools of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and anticipates the development of late medieval/early Renaissance affective spirituality in the West. To this end the chapter concentrates on the reception and subsequent interpretation of the corpus in two key sets of texts: the anonymous work of the English author of the Cloud of Unknowing and that of the Carthusian writer, Hugh of Balma, in particular his Viae Lugent Sion. In considering these two sets of texts the chapter explores the development of what has been termed ‘affective Dionysianism’ and concludes with a short footnote on how this will subsequently feed into the development of early modern affective spirituality.
Marsilio Ficino and the Dionysian Corpus
Authors: Edwards Mark , Allen Michael 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis essay examines the aims and methods of the Renaissance Platonist Marsilio Ficino in his translations of the Mystical Theology and the Divine Names. Acknowledging that Ficino would have regarded himself at all times as a Christian, it argues that he nonetheless tends to assimilate the thought of Dionysius to that of Proclus, whose Commentary on the Parmenides he was translating concurrently with the Divine Names. This assimilation is particularly apparent in his remarks on the Dionysian angels, whom he tends to identify with the lower epiphanies of the divine that were known to Platonists as daemons, and in his understanding of eros or love, a term which in him almost always denotes the soul’s aspiration to God whereas Dionysius uses it almost exclusively of God’s condescension to the world.
Valla and Erasmus on the Dionysian Question
Authors: Robichaud Denis J.-J. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis essay examines Lorenzo Valla’s and Erasmus’ philological and historical arguments that the Corpus Dionysiacum is pseudepigraphic. The first part surveys the long history of doubts about the authenticity of the Corpus Dionysiacum from the early sixth century until some of Valla’s contemporaries, including Pietro Balbi, Cardinal Cusanus (Nicholas of Cusa), Cardinal Bessarion, Theodore Gaza, and George of Trebizond, began considering the Platonism of the Corpus Dionysiacum in the mid-fifteenth century. The second part examines all of Valla’s arguments about the pseudepigraphic nature of the corpus in his Collatio Novi Testamenti and Encomion S. Thomae Aquinatis. The third part turns to Erasmus’s extensive writings on the Corpus Dionysiacum and ancient forgeries. It discusses Erasmus’ knowledge and publication of Valla’s writings as well as Erasmus’ own arguments that the corpus was the deliberate forgery of a deceitful impostor. This section also evaluates all known evidence for William Grocyn’s reported doubts about the authenticity of the Corpus Dionysiacum. Finally, it turns to the religious controversies in which Erasmus’ writings on Pseudo-Dionysius became involved. The facts, that the king and parliament of France had to intervene in these disputes with Noël Béda, Josse Clichtove, and the Catholic faculty of theology in Paris, and that Erasmus was forced to fight accusations that his conclusions were Lutheran demonstrate what was at stake in Erasmus’ answer to the Dionysian Question.
Philo and Clement of Alexandria
Authors: Bucur Bogdan G. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis essay studies Clement and Philo as authors in a common Alexandrian tradition who anticipate the negative theology of Dionysius. The first section on transcendence and immanence argues that, while Philo and Clement both exemplify the practice of describing God through negatives which is characteristic of the middle Platonists, Clement goes beyond his pagan models in asserting that God is known through what he is not. Again Clement marries Philo’s understanding of the Logos as the sum of divine powers with the Johannine doctrine of Christ as Logos, and Dionysius follows him in making Christology the key to revelation. Clement also anticipates Dionysius, in thought if not in word, when he represents deification as the ascent of the soul through hierarchically ordered levels of knowledge and being, though Dionysius may be more severe in his differentiation of humans and angels.
On the Theology of Dionysius
Authors: Geréby György 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
After a brief review of the contrasting positions taken by Dörrie, Meijering, and De Vogel with regard to the compatibility of Platonism and Christianity, this essay tests the Dionysian corpus on Dörrie’s criteria, and finds that its Christianity differs in significant ways from Neoplatonism. It goes on to suggest that concentration on metaphysical issues has obscured some distinctive lines of argument in the Dionysian corpus, particularly the association of eschatology with an understanding of God’s providential action in history. A recognition of this element reinforces the general consensus of scholarship that Dionysius is in important ways a Christian author, whatever his relation to Platonism; it also requires us to qualify R. F. Hathaway’s assertion that his Neoplatonism prevented his developing a political philosophy.
Origen, Evagrius, and Dionysius
Authors: Ramelli Ilaria L.E. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractOn the basis of rich evidence, this essay argues for a strong, pervasive influence of Origen on the Corpus Dionysiacum, but also of Evagrius. The essay suggests the presence of specific allusions (veiled or more direct) to Origen in the Corpus. Origen’s influence is demonstrated to range from specific details to larger motifs and clusters of ideas, from theology and philosophy to exegesis, allegoresis, and mysticism. Origen’s On First Principles, Commentary on John, and Commentary on the Song of Songs seem to be among the most influential works on Dionysius, along with Evagrius’ Kephalaia Gnostika. Dionysius, at least in the Greek edition that is available to us, emerges as a profoundly Origenian thinker, more than radically Origenistic.
Ethical Approaches to Cybersecurity
Authors: Macnish Kevin , van der Ham Jeroen 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines current research on cybersecurity ethics. It frames this around three different approaches to the subject. The first (‘bottom up’) considers ethical issues arising in different case studies and developing groupings of these issues, such as those relating to privacy, those to security, etc. The second approach (‘pragmatist’) considers ethical approaches currently used in cybersecurity practice, focusing on the confidentiality, integrity, availability (CIA) triad. The third approach (‘top down’) takes its starting point as broader ethical theories, which are then applied to cybersecurity. The authors present a novel top-down approach, defining security as the inverse of risk and then drawing on recent literature on the ethics of risk. The chapter concludes with a review of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
Origen’s Commentaries on the Old Testament
Authors: Niehoff Maren R. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Origen was a prolific commentator on the Old Testament from the beginning of his career in Alexandria until his later days in Caesarea. While his hermeneutics echo terms of Alexandrian scholarship and have often been interpreted in this context, Jewish interpreters were crucial discussion partners who must not be overlooked. Philo of Alexandria provided important hermeneutic tools by mediating Homeric methods and Bible exegesis. In Caesarea rabbinic scholars, who were also familiar with Hellenistic hermeneutics, often engaged in conversation and polemic with Origen, thus prompting continued scholarly and religious exchange.
Origen’s Eschatology
Authors: McGuckin J. A. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The author of this chapter observes that Origen was the first architect of systematized eschatology. Origen’s spiritual exegesis on New Testament texts transformed ‘last things’ (which in the New Testament corpus had hitherto been a discrete but unorganized part of the apocalyptic heritage) into a cosmic plan of salvation encompassing metaphysics, ontology, cosmology, and ethics. Origen balances a reliance on the Church’s ‘rule of faith’ (Regula Fidei—or basic credal structures), on the one hand, and his magisterial school-style of proposing open-ended questions and a range of possible answers on the other, the author tracks Origen’s views on the End, the Afterlife, Judgement, and Resurrection and beatitude.
The Transmission of Origen From Athanasius to the Cappadocians
Authors: Louth Andrew 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Tracing Origen’s influence in the fourth century is constrained by the realization that our knowledge of Origen derives from the fourth century itself, thus already affected by its controversies. We have to project backwards from what we know of fourth-century theology to a presumed Origenian original: a hazardous task. Athanasius, in his Contra Gentes and De Incarnatione, manifests the influence of Origen primarily in his essentially contemplative understanding of what it is to be human. The principal evidence of Origenist influence in this century is the Origenian anthology, the Philokalia, arguably drawn up by Basil and Gregory of Nazianzus, which sets forth a Christocentric understanding of Scripture and the coinherence of divine providence and human free will. Gregory of Nyssa constitutes the most profound engagement with Origen, exploring the consequences of divine infinity and the essentially finite nature of the human, fulfilled in never-ending progress.
The Contribution of Pierre-Daniel Huet to the Modern Study of Origen
Authors: Rapetti Elena 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
With his Origeniana, Pierre-Daniel Huet undoubtedly reached the peak of Origenian studies in the seventeenth century. This chapter, first of all, aims at tracing the sequence of events which led Huet to the edition of his Origenis in sacras Scripturas Commentaria (1668), the first comprehensive corpus of the Greek Origen, containing the Greek exegetical writings of the Alexandrian scholar. The chapter subsequently focuses on the critical analysis and interpretation of Origen’s thought conducted by Huet in his Origeniana. Furthermore, it explores and discusses some vexed questions which agitated and divided scholars at that time: the invocation of the angels, the Eucharist, the issues of freedom and grace, and the Trinity were at the centre of the debates between Catholics and Protestants and between Jesuits and Jansenists. The purpose of this chapter is to clarify Huet’s role with reference to the seventeenth-century rediscovery of Origen Adamantius, by reconstructing the historical background behind the composition of the Origeniana.
The Contribution of Bernhard Neuschäfer’s Origenes ALS Philologe
Authors: Rodriguez-Galarza Gerardo 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Bernhard Neuschäfer’s Origene als Philologe remains an influential reference point in the study of Origen. Neuschäfer builds on understudied observations regarding Origen’s philological skills. Along with Ilsetraut Hadot’s 1987 study, Neuschäfer’s work provides additional evidence for Origen’s works as the earliest surviving texts that applied known Greco-Roman textual commentary prologue genre analysis. Neuschäfer demonstrates how Origen, in his exegesis of biblical books and passages, integrates his Christian beliefs with his commitment to meeting the standards of critical philological analysis from Stoic and classical Greek scholars. This chapter provides a synthesis of Neuschäfer’s insights and lasting contributions through subsequent studies on Origen.
Origen’s Indebtedness to Clement of Alexandria
Authors: van den Hoek Annewies 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The author of this chapter raises the question of how lines of influence can be traced when a tradition has not yet solidified into a body of teachings that can be handed down. She proposes that the outlines of an emerging tradition/school can be discerned in the literary genres that are chosen or invented, and in the subjects or topics singled out for treatment. Her comparison of the literary output of Clement and Origen notes the commonalties in the titles of their works—Stromateis, lost works on Proverbs, treatises on Genesis (Origen’s lost, Clement’s planned) and works on prayer, martyrdom and the passion. In these titles and topics the outline of a tradition can be recognized. It is Origen’s exegetical projects and his interest in the LXX that mark a new starting point.
Origen’s Use of Philo Judaeus
Authors: Rogers Justin M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The challenge for the author of this chapter in tracing the influence of Philo on Origen is the dearth of evidence for how his works were transmitted (though the widespread use of Philo suggests a widely used Philonic tradition) and the fact that Philo’s name is rarely cited, though there is more evidence for Origen’s anonymous borrowing from Philo. The chapter shows that the evidence of Philonic influence is easier to trace in Origen’s exegetical use of etymologies, arithmology, and allegory. Philo’s influence is even greater on Origen’s doctrines. Philo had already developed the notion of the pre-existence of souls, the distinction between intelligible and sensible creation, and the connection between growth in knowledge and ethical progress. Yet Philo is rarely credited with the enormous creativity these contributions represent.
New constraints on the neutron-star mass and radius relation from terrestrial nuclear experiments
Authors: Sotani Hajime , Nishimura Nobuya , Naito Tomoya 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The determination of the equation of state (EOS) for nuclear matter has been one of the biggest problems in nuclear astrophysics, because the EOS is essential for determining the properties of neutron stars. To constrain the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy, several nuclear experiments, e.g., reported by the SπRIT and PREX-II Collaborations, have recently been performed. However, since their uncertainties are still large, additional constraints such as astronomical observations are crucial. In addition, it is interesting to see the effect of their reported values on neutron-star properties. In this study, focusing on a relatively lower-density region, we investigate the allowed area of the neutron-star mass and radius relation by assuming the constraints from SπRIT and PREX-II. Each region predicted by these experiments is still consistent with the allowed area constrained by the various astronomical observations. Our results show that terrestrial nuclear experiments must provide further constraints on the EOS for neutron stars, complementing astronomical observations.
Evaluation of Analgesic Efficacy and Opioid-sparing Effect of Duloxetine After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Authors: Su Peng , Pang Long , Li Shu , Sun Weihao , Zhao Yanmin , Fu Weili , Li Jian , Tang Xin 
Published: March 2022

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and opioid-sparing effect of duloxetine in adults having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, as well as its clinical safety.

Methods:
In this randomized trial, 120 adults having arthroscopic rotator repair were randomized to receive perioperative oral duloxetine or placebo. The primary outcome was patient self-reported pain score (Visual Analog Scale: 0 to 10) at rest and opioid consumption within postoperative 2 days. Other outcomes included adverse effects, changes of thromboelastogram, and hemoglobin indicators before and after the operation.

Results:
A total of 120 patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis, of which 60 received duloxetine and 60 received placebo. Groups were similar on the demographic, baseline, and intraoperative variables. There were significant differences in pain scores at rest at postoperative 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours (3 h: P=0.001; 6 h: P=0.001; 12 h: P=0.001; 24 h: P=0.005; 48 h: P=0.034) and at movement at postoperative 6, 12, and 48 hours (6 h: P=0.004; 12 h: P=0.002; 48 h: P=0.033), while none of the differences met the minimum clinically important difference. There were no significant differences in opioid consumption and in hemoglobin and thromboelastogram before and after operation between the duloxetine group and the placebo group (all P>0.05). For adverse effects, the incidence of nausea and vomiting in the duloxetine group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group (P=0.018).

Discussion:
For patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, duloxetine resulted in a significant reduction in pain within postoperative 2 days, but the reduction was not clinically meaningful. Duloxetine did not decrease the opioid consumption within postoperative 2 days and did not increase the risk of bleeding within postoperative 2 days. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the duloxetine group was significantly greater than that in the placebo group.
Move in the Tube Sternal Precautions: A Retrospective Analysis of a Single Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
Authors: McKenna Heather , Jones Jennifer , Harmon Erin Y. 
Published: March 2022

Purpose:
To assess the admitting characteristics, adverse events, and rehabilitation outcomes of patients adhering to move in the tube (MIT) or standard sternal precautions in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF).

Methods:
This study is a retrospective analysis of 273 patients admitted to a single IRF. Patients followed the sternal precautions recommended by their admitting acute care hospitals. One hundred ninety patients' assigned standard and 83 patients' assigned MIT sternal precautions were evaluated. Admitting characteristics, including comorbidities and functional status, were compared between cohorts. Hospital readmissions, sternal disruptions, length of stay, functional independence at discharge, and discharge destination were also assessed.

Results:
Patients adhering to MIT precautions had higher levels of functional independence at admission despite a higher frequency of combined coronary artery bypass grafts/valve surgeries, comorbidities, and prior functional limitations. There was no difference in sternal wound disruptions, return to hospital rates, length of IRF stay, or functional independence levels at discharge between cohorts.

Conclusions:
Patients on MIT precautions were admitted to an IRF with more medical complications but higher functional independence. Both groups had minimal sternal complications, providing evidence that modified sternal precautions are safe and can benefit patients in an IRF setting.
Sinonasal Mucosal Melanoma: An Update and Review of the Literature
Authors: Salari Behzad , Foreman Ruth K. , Emerick Kevin S. , Lawrence Donald P. , Duncan Lyn M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract:Primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive tumor with high metastatic potential and poor outcomes. Presenting symptoms are nonspecific, and the nasal cavity is the most common site of origin followed by the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. Histopathologically, SNMMs are pleomorphic and predominantly composed of epithelioid cell type. Identifying these tumors requires a high index of suspicion for melanoma and the use of a panel of immunohistochemical markers when typical histopathological features are missing. Not infrequently, these tumors are undifferentiated and/or amelanotic. Currently, SNMM falls into 2 different staging systems proposed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, one for carcinoma of the nasal cavity and sinuses and the other for head and neck melanoma. Although therapeutic standards do not exist, surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy and/or systemic therapy may offer the best outcome. Lymphadenectomy including possible parotidectomy and neck dissection should be considered in patients with regional lymph node metastasis. However, the role of elective lymph node dissection is controversial. Genetic profiling has identified a number of recurrent gene mutations that may prove useful in providing targets for novel, emerging biological treatments. In this article, we provide an update on clinicopathological features, staging, molecular discoveries, and treatment options for SNMM.
