Description
This four-volume work contains various Greek and Latin writings of religious or philosophic teachings ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus, with extensive notes, commentary, and addenda. These teachings are said to be records of private, intimate talks between a teacher and one or two of his disciples, set in Egypt under the Roman Empire.
Included are the libelli of the Corpus Hermeticum, the Asclepius, the Hermetic excerpts in the Anthologium of Stobaeus, and other fragments. The entire text is produced in the original Greek or Latin, with an English translation on facing pages. This edition provides a comprehensive collection of these writings, along with Scott's commentary and addenda.
Published in 2001, this edition is a valuable resource for those interested in philosophy, history, and mysticism. It is the first of four volumes in the Hermetica series, published by Shambhala Publications.
