The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of ancient philosophical and religious texts attributed to the mythical figure Hermes Trismegistus. These texts were written in Greek and Egyptian during the Hellenistic period and were rediscovered during the Renaissance. The translation and interpretation of these texts have been the subject of much debate and controversy.This particular edition of The Corpus Hermeticum is translated by G.R.S. Mead, a prominent Theosophist and scholar of esotericism. Mead's translation is considered one of the most accurate and comprehensive English translations of the texts.The book includes all of the major texts of The Corpus Hermeticum, including The Poimandres, The Asclepius, and The Emerald Tablet. Mead provides extensive notes and commentary throughout the book, helping readers to understand the complex and often obscure language of the texts.The Corpus Hermeticum is an important work for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, religion, and mysticism. It offers a unique glimpse into the beliefs and practices of ancient cultures and provides insight into the development of Western thought.This would be the version translated by Blavatsky enthusiast G.R.S. Mead. Hopefully, nobody was stuck in the middle of an alchemy session waiting for vital details the other version (q.v.) lacked.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
