Eriugena
John Scotus Eriugena (c. 815–877) was the most original mind of the Carolingian age — an Irish scholar who translated Pseudo-Dionysius into Latin and absorbed his Neoplatonic theology.
His great work, the Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature), describes all reality as a procession from and return to God in the manner of Proclus — a vision so daring it was later condemned, yet it kept the Neoplatonic current alive in the Latin West.
