The Divine Pymander and Other Writings of Hermes Trismegistus is a book compiled by John D. Chambers that contains a collection of ancient texts attributed to the mythical figure of Hermes Trismegistus. Hermes Trismegistus is a legendary figure in Hermeticism, a philosophical and religious tradition that originated in ancient Egypt and Greece. The texts in this book are believed to be written by various authors over a period of several centuries, but they are all attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The book includes the famous text, The Divine Pymander, which is a dialogue between Hermes Trismegistus and a disciple named Poimandres. The text explores various philosophical and spiritual concepts such as the nature of God, the creation of the universe, and the destiny of the human soul. In addition to The Divine Pymander, the book also includes other texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, such as The Asclepius, The Definitions of Asclepius, and The Key. These texts cover a wide range of topics, including astrology, alchemy, magic, and theology. Overall, The Divine Pymander and Other Writings of Hermes Trismegistus is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Hermeticism, ancient philosophy, or spirituality. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the mystical teachings of one of the most revered figures in Western esotericism.1882. It is remarkable that Hermes anticipated modern philosophy by insisting there is no void in nature, and that none of the works of The God can become extinct or perish, but, if disappearing, become some other essence or nature and renovated into another form. Thus, it appears he affirmed the future eternity of existing matter and deduced from this the immortality of the human body. Divided into three parts entitled: Poemandres; excerpts from Hermes by Stobaeus; and notices of Hermes in the fathers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
