The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of philosophical and religious texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, a legendary figure who was believed to have been a wise teacher and magician in ancient Egypt. The book contains a series of dialogues between Hermes and his disciples, exploring topics such as the nature of God, the universe, and the human soul. The texts are written in a poetic and mystical style, drawing on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Platonism, Gnosticism, and Egyptian mythology. The book was translated into English by G.R.S. Mead, a prominent scholar of esotericism and the occult. Mead's translation has been highly influential in the study of Hermeticism and has helped to popularize the ideas and teachings of this ancient tradition. The Corpus Hermeticum is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality and the human condition.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.
