Book excerpt: This is the edition including all three books. The so-called Hermetic writings have been known to Christian writers for many centuries. The early church Fathers (Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria) quote them in defense of Christianity. Stobaeus collected fragments of them. The Humanists knew and valued them. They were studied in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and in modern times have again been diligently examined by many scholars. G. R. S. Mead has issued a translation of the whole body of extant literature, with extended prolegomena, commentary, etc. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the date at which this literature was produced. Mead believes that some of the extant portions of it are at least as early as the earliest Christian writings, while von Christ assigns them to the third Christian century, and thinks that they show the influence of neo-Platonism. To affirm that they influenced New Testament usage would be hazardous, but they perhaps throw some light on the direction in which thought was moving in New Testament times.

" The other five, as though they were colonies from it, are the Powers of the Speaker of this Word Logos), of which the chief is the Creative Potency, according to which He who creates by Eeason or Word, fashioned the cosmos. The second is the Sovereign Potency, according to which He who created, ruleth that which is brought into existence. The third is the Merciful Potency, by means of which the Artist hath compassion and hath mercy on His own work. The fourth is the Legislative Providence, by means of which He doth forbid the things that may not be...." 2 Philo then regards these " cities " as symbolising the refuges to which the various kinds of erring souls should flee to find comfort. If the Divine Pteason, and the Creative and Sovereign (Kingly) Powers are too far off for the comprehension of the sinner's ignorance, then he should flee to other goals at a shorter distance, the "cities" of...

Excerpt: ... foods [drawn] from the water and the earth of the inferior world.1 Spirit,2 with which they8 all are filled, being interblended with the rest,4 doth make them live; sense being added, and also reason in the case of man--which hath been given to man alone as a fifth part out of the aether. Of all the living things6 [God] doth adorn, extend, exalt, the sense of man alone unto the understanding of the Reason of Divinity.6 But since I am impressed to speak concerning Sense, I will a little further on set forth for you the sermon on this [point]; for that it is most holy, and [most] mighty, not less than in the Reason of Divinity itself. VII 1. But now I'll finish for you what I have begun. For I was speaking at the start of union with the Gods, by which men only7 consciously enjoy8 the Gods' regard, --I mean whatever men have won such rapture that they have obtained a share of that Divine Sense of intelligence which 1 Cf. xi . 2. * Cf.

Book excerpt: Complete edition, fully annotated (3 280 footnotes), easy-to-read layout. G.R.S. Mead was a noted and influential member of the Theosophical Society. He studied the Hermetic and Gnostic religions of Late Antiquity. Mead's huge book-Thrice-Greatest Hermes-is a classic work on the philosophical Hermetica and the figure of Hermes Trismegistus. This complete edition compiles the three volumes in one book. The first volume (Prolegomena) gives an extensive study of the Hermetic corpus and the origins of Hermeticism. The second volume (Sermons) gives a translation of the entire Corpus Hermeticum and the Asclepius, with extensive commentary following each section. The third volume (Excerpts and Fragments) gives the excerpts and fragments that make up the rest of the Hermetica, namely from Stobaeus, but also from the Fathers (Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Augustine, etc.) and the philosophers of antiquity (Zosimus, Jamblichus, Fulgentius, etc.) This work offers substantial quotes from a wealth of sources (edition fully annotated with 3 280 footnotes). This book is well worth reading for all those who wish to study the Corpus Hermeticum in its entirety.
