Synopsis

The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of ancient philosophical and spiritual texts attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus. Translated and compiled by G.R.S. Mead, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Hermetic tradition, which emphasizes the unity of all things and the importance of spiritual transformation. The texts cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the creation of the universe, the human soul, and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. Mead's translation is highly regarded for its accuracy and clarity, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Western spirituality and philosophy.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.
