Text:
There is no treatise by Eriugena "On the Church" but he does have an extensive commentary on hierarchy, as found in ps-Dionysius, and several liturgically focussed poems. This paper seeks to explore this evidence in the consciousness of the backdrop provided by the Greek-speaking communities of Rome in the same era.
