Emerging from the rich spiritual and philosophical ferment of Hellenic Egypt in the early Christian era, The Corpus Hermeticum stands as the foundational text of the Hermetic tradition. Long misattributed to an ancient pre-Christian origin, these writings were preserved through centuries under the belief that they anticipated Christian teachings. In reality, they reflect a unique synthesis of Greek philosophical thought, Egyptian religious ideas, and early Gnostic currents.

This volume presents a profound exploration of divine knowledge, the nature of the cosmos, and the path to spiritual enlightenment. It offers crucial insights into the worldview that shaped Western esotericism, influencing Renaissance thinkers and beyond.

Through its meditative dialogues and cosmological reflections, the work continues to inspire seekers of wisdom. This edition highlights the enduring importance of Hermetic thought in understanding the spiritual landscape of late antiquity and its lasting legacy in Western spiritual traditions.
