The Virgin of the World is a collection of Hermetic texts written in Greek and attributed to the legendary figure of Hermes Trismegistus. The book is named after one of the texts contained within it, which describes the creation of the world and the role of the divine feminine principle in this process. The texts in The Virgin of the World cover a wide range of topics, including astrology, alchemy, theology, and philosophy. They are written in a poetic and mystical style, and often use allegory and symbolism to convey their meaning. The book is notable for its emphasis on the unity of all things and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material worlds.The authorship of The Virgin of the World is uncertain, but it is believed to have been written during the early centuries of the Common Era, possibly in Egypt or Greece. The book was influential in the development of Western esotericism and has been studied and interpreted by scholars and mystics for centuries.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Thrice Greatest Hermes Part 3, by Stobaeus .
