Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The Corpus Hermeticum (or Hermetica) is a collection of Egyptian-Greek wisdom texts from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Most of the texts are presented as dialogues in which a teacher, generally identified as Hermes Trismegistus, enlightens a disciple. The texts discuss the divine, the cosmos, mind, and nature. Some touch upon alchemy, astrology, and related concepts. These texts form the basis of Hermeticism.

Biografía del autor:

G. R. S. Mead is regarded as a pioneer in the field of Gnostic and Hermetic studies. A highly intuitive scholar, Mead joined the company of Madame Blavatsky and her close associates. In this circle, he learned the profound mysteries of the Gnostics and became a translator of these writings. Mead evidently suffered some scholarly prejudice because of his connections with Theosophy. However, he also visited with C. G. Jung during his last years, and Jung thanked him for his dedicated work, his outstanding use of the English language, and for his affinity toward the experience of Gnosis.
