Their supposed author, Hermes Trismegistus, was thought to be a contemporary of Moses, and the Hermetic philosophy was regarded as an ancient theology, parallel to the received wisdom of the Bible. This first English translation based on reliable texts, together with Brian P. Copenhaver's comprehensive introduction, provide an indispensable resource to scholars in ancient philosophy and religion, early Christianity, Renaissance literature, and history, the history of science, and the occultist tradition in which the Hermetica have become canonical texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeticism or Hermetism is a philosophical system based on the purported teachings of Hermes Trismegistus (a legendary Hellenistic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth). These teachings are contained in the various writings attributed to Hermes (the Hermetica), which were produced over a period spanning many centuries (c. 300 BCE — 1200 CE) and may be very different in content and scope. The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of 17 Greek writings whose authorship is traditionally attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The treatises were originally written between c. 100 and c. 300 CE, but the collection as known today was first compiled by medieval Byzantine editors. It was translated into Latin in the 15th century by the Italian humanist scholars Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) and Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500).

Download or read book The Corpus Hermeticum Deluxe Library Binding written by Hermes Trismegistus and published by Engage Classics. This book was released on 2020-12-06 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd century or earlier. The texts form the basis of Hermeticism, which is a religious, philosophical, and esoteric tradition that held great importance during both the Renaissance and the Reformation periods. The work discusses the divine, the cosmos, the mind, alchemy, astrology, and nature. The Corpus Hermeticum dwells upon the oneness and goodness of God, urges purification of the soul, and discusses a spiritual rebirth through the enlightenment of the mind. Much of the importance of Hermeticism arises from its connection with the development of science between 1300 to 1600 AD. The prominence that it gave to the idea of influencing or controlling nature led many scientists to look to magic and its allied arts. Sir Isaac Newton placed great faith in the concept of an unadulterated, pure, ancient doctrine, which he studied vigorously to aid his understanding of the physical world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every process of initiation is a period of learning on several levels, and the most important of them is of course that of the Spirit-Soul -- the Mind -- the gnostic plane. The Corpus Hermeticum explores these levels, using didactical dialogues between a Master and his Disciple, in a language precise and almost modern, and yet occasionally poetic and heartfelt. Sometimes it reminds the Platonic dialogues on their highest philosophical level, while still remaining quite understandable for everybody ... The Corpus Hermeticum is one of the oldest documents of western philosophy, revered by all connoisseurs of this discipline: It conveys the timeless wisdom of Initiates in their quest for truth about God as Creator, about the World as His Creation, and about Man with his cosmic destiny, mission and universal responsibility. As a first term for the authorship of the Corpus Hermeticum we consider Alexandria between ca. 150 b.C. and ca. 250 a.D. -- This is the period when elements of Arabian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Hellenistic and Neoplatonic elements were interweaved and harmonized. -- There even are some echoes from Lao-Dse and the Upanishads. The text of the Corpus Hermeticum was originally written in Greek, then translated into Latin by the Initiate Marsilio Ficino of Florence in 1468, and printed for the first time in 1471. Modern science wants parts of it to be of a patristic nature, disregarding its salvation of Hermetic traditions of old. Sometimes excessively generous translators and editors redacted the text, neglecting its precise and often amazing stylistic subtleties. The present translation instead follows - to the best of knowledge, and strictly verbally - even the most challenging and problematical passages, firmly obeying the refined grammatical rules of Latin and its classical abbreviatures, throughout this rich text. This book is pleasant to read - also because uncertain idioms are accompanied by the original term in Latin for comparison. The present new book thus satisfies the wish for a new, reliable translation, and therefore will fill a long regretted gap especially because in our modern time the messages of this venerable scripture of antique Mysteries are of renewed actuality for both researchers and seekers today. A plethora of linguistic, historical, cosmological and mythological facts at the end of the book will be welcomed especially by all lovers of original esoteric texts.

Download or read book The Hermetica written by Hermes Trismegistus and published by Sunsight Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermetica, otherwise known as The Corpus Hermeticum, The Lost Wisdom of the Pharaohs, or The Divine Pymander is a collection of texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (Greek god Hermes and Egyptian god Thoth -- Trismegistus for “The Thrice-Greatest”) which brought forth the principles of the Hermetics with eighteen treaties/tracts. The book is often divided into two main categories: The technical (astrology, medicine and pharmacology, alchemy, and magic) and the religio-philosophical (anthropology, cosmology, theology). The Hermetica, and Hermeticism from it, claims that there is One true theology of the world, and said theology is the Root and Source. It presents a tautology to God Itself, that the Source is Source Itself, Source “containeth every number, but is contained by none; engendereth every number, but is engendered by no other one.” The Hermetica presents that past all our mullings over different gods, there is Source Itself behind all religions. While a lot of The Hermetica is presented as gospel, it is mainly a discourse on principles concerning a hermetic philosophy. It remains a source of continuous, unfolding interpretations. The beauty of this work is not in its rigidity, but its fluidness to be open to new interpretations, which has solidified its staying power for centuries.

Book excerpt: Paperback edition of the recent translation of the esoteric masterpiece, including the first English translation of The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius • A resource for scholars and religious seekers alike • The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius provides new insights into the actual workings of the gnostic spiritual path The Corpus Hermeticum, a powerful fusion of Greek and Egyptian thought, is one of the cornerstones of the Western esoteric tradition. A collection of short philosophical treatises, it was written in Greek between the first and third centuries C.E. and translated into Latin during the Renaissance by the great scholar and philosopher Marsilio Ficino. These treatises were central to the spiritual work of hermetic societies in Late Antique Alexandria (200-700 C.E.) and aimed to awaken gnosis, the direct realization of the unity of the individual and the Supreme. In addition to this new translation of The Corpus Hermeticum, which seeks to reflect the inspirational intent of the original, The Way of Hermes includes the first English translation of the recently rediscovered manuscript of The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius, a collection of aphorisms used by the hermetic student to strengthen the mind during meditation. With the proper mental orientation, a state of pure perception can be achieved in which the true face of God appears. This document is of enormous value to the contemporary student of gnostic studies for its insights into the actual workings of this spiritual path.
