Created page with "'''Empyrean''', from the Medieval Latin ''empyreus'', an adaptation of the Ancient Greek ἔμπυρος ''empyrus'' "in or on the fire (''pyr'')", properly ''Empyrean Heaven'..."

New page

'''Empyrean''', from the Medieval Latin ''empyreus'', an adaptation of the Ancient Greek ἔμπυρος ''empyrus'' "in or on the fire (''pyr'')", properly ''Empyrean Heaven'', is the place in the highest heaven, which in ancient cosmologies was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy).

The Empyrean was thus used as a name for the firmament, and in Christian literature, notably the Divine Comedy, for the dwelling-place of God, the blessed, celestial beings so divine they are made of pure light, and the source of light and creation
