<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: London: Judy Piatkus Publishers, 1997.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The first easily accessible translation of the esoteric writings that inspired some of the world's greatest artists, scientists, and philosophers.</b> <p/> Here is an essential digest of the Greco-Egyptian writings attributed to the legendary sage-god Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for thrice-greatest Hermes), a combination of the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes. <p/> The figure of Hermes was venerated as a great and mythical teacher in the ancient world and was rediscovered by the finest minds of the Renaissance. The writings attributed to his hand are a time capsule of Egyptian and Greek esoteric philosophy and have influenced figures including Blake, Newton, Milton, Shelley, Shakespeare, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jung. <p/> Providing a fascinating introduction to the intersection of the Egyptian and Hellenic cultures and the magico-religious ideas of the antique world, <i>The Hermetica</i> is a marvelous volume for anyone interested in understanding the West's roots in mystical thought.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Timothy Freke</b> is the author of many books on mystical philosophy, including The <b>Tao Te Ching</b> and, with <b>Peter Gandy</b>, <b>The Complete Guide to World Mysticism</b>. He lives in England.
